Personal Biographies 
Class of 1877 

J. T. Ailman 

"My address is, J. T. Ailman, Thompsontown, Juniata Co., Pa. 

Am actively engaged in the business of an ordinary Pennsylvania farmer. 

Have been Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Grange for the past 
twelve years and am still holding that position. I was elected to the Legislature 
in 1906. My writing has not extended beyond newspaper articles. 

I was married in 1894, and have four children. 

As to classmates my knowledge is very limited. I know that D. S. Funk 
is a very successful and popular physician in Harrisburg, and that J. R. Flickenger 
is doing good work in the cause of education as Principal of the State Normal 
School at Lock Haven, Pa." 

George A. Armour 

After repeated requests, couched in more or less diplomatic language, the 
Secretary secured from George the following lengthy sketch : 

"Dear Jai :— I hate pubHcity. My home address is Princeton, N. J. Was 
actively engaged in business life, now retired. Received degree of A.M. from 
Princeton. My son Norman is in the Class of '09 Princeton, and William is at 
St. Paul's School, Concord, N. H." 

A most loyal and generous son of Princeton, and one of the three immortal 
"Short Stops," George is never so happy as when doing something for somebody 
and especially for Princeton and his Class of '']']. His interest in the 'y^ Hall 
is inspiring and characteristic of the way he delights to do things. His son Nor- 
man is Captain of his Class Crew, and may be seen as stroke oar in the first 
crew in the photograph entitled "Carnegie Lake and Washington St. Bridge." 

William Clinton Armstrong 

"I married Miss Stella Virginia Lenher at Elmora, a suburb of Elizabeth, 
N. J., on December 18, 1888. We have five children. 

I have been superintendent of the Public Schools of the city of New 
Brunswick since January 1899, having the supervision of about seventy teachers 
and three thousand pupils. 

Compiled and published two volumes on Genealogy and Local History. I 
have for several years been the Historian of the New Jersey Society of the Sons 
of the American Revolution, and I have compiled for the Society a collection of 
New Jersey verses relating to the Revolutionary War, a book which the Society 



has published under the title of "Patriotic Poems of New Jersey." I have also 
written a series of short sketches relating to the life and services of Major-General 
William Alexander, which I hope I may be able at some future day to collect and 
publish under the title of "Lord Stirling of New Jersey as a Soldier and as a 
Man." 

The Secretary frequently sees "Poller," and always with increasing pleas- 
ure. He is doing good work in New Brunswick, and is worthy of a wider field. 

E. A. Balloch 

"Can't you let a man enjoy his summer vacation? I send items as re- 
quested. 

My address is 1013 Fifteenth St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Office ad- 
dress same. 

Am in active practice as a surgeon. Am Professor of Surgery in Howard 
University and member of several surgical societies. 

Have never been guilty of any books, but have written several profes- 
sional articles. Degrees, A.M. and M. D. 

Was married June 8, 1886, to Lillian F. McGrew, at Washington, D. C- 

Have one child, Agnes McGrew Balloch, born May 19, 1889. Graduated 
from Mount Vernon Seminary and now attending George Washington Univer- 
sity." 

I trust that invitation to go "trout fishing" with you still stands open, Doc. 
I should enjoy the company of one whose help at all times made the Reunion so 
enjoyable. 

George G. Barnes 

"My home address is Elmhurst, Pa., a suburb of Scranton, where I am 
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church. 

I have written a little for religious papers. Received A.M. from Prince- 
ton University. 

Am married and have two children. Both graduated at Meshoppen High 
School. Hosea is with Scranton Electric Light Company. Margaret is a senior 
in Bloomsburg Normal School. 

I rejoice in seeing D. D. Jenkins occasionally, and am glad to report him 
a valued and useful alumnus, having filled the place this summer of Rev. Dr. Ful- 
lerton and Rev. Dr. Hodge, in the great First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes- 
barre." 

A. C. Bartles 

The Secretary has used all sorts of bait on Austin but failed to get a rise. 
He is still in business in New York — Fire Insurance — and occasionally the Secre-

tary meets him and exhorts him to a better Hfe, but the usual answer is the old 
familiar laugh. 

N. Benedict 

"My home address is No. 23 South McLean Ave., and office address is 
No. 140 Calhoun St., Memphis, Tenn. 

Facts regarding my life and work (especially important ones) are 'like hen 
teeth' — few and far between. Owing to a shortage of cash I was forced, after 
finishing the Sophomore year with the Class of '']'], to abandon the idea of return- 
ing to Princeton. In 1877 I commenced a retail hardware business in Fayette- 
ville, Tenn., and for twenty-five years followed this particular line of work with 
some measure of success. In 1903 we began a wholesale hardware business in 
this city under the firm name of Benedict, Warren & Davidson Co., in which busi- 
ness I am now engaged. 

Have written no books or articles, and if any positions of honor or trust 
have headed my way, I have never heard of the fact. 

Was married February 23, 1881, at Petersburg, Tenn., to Harriet E. Hall. 

Have one son, Harry Hall Benedict, born June 14, 189 1. At present at- 
tending Memphis University School. 

It has never been my good fortune since leaving Princeton to meet any of 
the Class of '']'j, except Dick Richardson of Murfreesboro, who by the way is re- 
garded throughout the State as an able lawyer and is fast forging to the front in 
his profession." 

Benedict thus replies to the inquiry of the Secretary : "Is courtesy a lost 
art ?" and proves that it is not in his case. It is a pleasure to hear from him and 
let him now take the next step and join us in our next Reunion and all will be 
forgiven. 

John L. Best 

"My address is No. 29 Pomeroy Terrace, Northampton, Mass., and care of 
Hampshire Gazette. 

Have been for several years one of the editors of the above-mentioned 
sheet, which same is largely active, — retired only in the sense in which the neglect 
to affix to the duties of the position an adequate compensation renders consid- 
erable retirement (from Class Reunions, etc.) more or less compulsory. 

Was married Sept. 10, 1890. 

Classmates come to this region only to enter their daughters at Smith 
College. The knowledge of this fact has been in my possession only since last 
Reunion, however, so I have had no opportunities to meet any of them. I should 
be very glad to see or serve in any way in my power these young women already 
here or those who may come later, or their parents. Boys, please remember this. 
The orange and black makes but a feeble flame in this part of darkest New Eng-

land. Pyne has provided me with some photographs of Princeton buildings, 
which have been gazed upon with awe and admiration here and with which I hope 
to do something for Old Nassau." 

Best delighted his classmates by attending his first Class Reunion, and so 
far as looks are concerned can fill the place of best man to perfection. Will look 
for him now at every Reunion. 

John Biggs 

"My home address is 1310 West 14th St., and my office address 913 Market 
St., Wilmington, Del. 

Am actively engaged in practicing law. 

On April 7, 1885, was appointed Deputy Attorney General of the State. 
Served in this capacity until April 4, 1887, when I was appointed Attorney 
General of the State, and served, in this capacity, for the constitutional term of 
five years. Was elected a delegate to the Constitutional Convention on Nov. 3, 
1896, and made its president on Dec. i, 1896. Was Chairman of the Democratic 
State Central Committee for several years, and at present am a member of same, 
and have served in various capacities as an officer of said party. 

Was married on Oct 31, 1891, and have three children. 

I seldom see any of the fellows, excepting those you know about." 

John wears his honors well and is one of the youngest looking men in the 
Class. 



J. W. Bowers, Jr. 

"Part of the delay in replying to your communications was due to my 
efforts to get a good photograph of myself. After several attempts I secured a 
counterfeit presentment, which is said to give one a fair idea of my personal ap- 
pearance at the age of fifty. I have mailed you a copy of this photograph. 

My life has flowed on in such an even and monotonous manner that I can 
add nothing to my previous record. My home address is still 10 N. Calhoun St., 
and my office address still at 16 E. Lexington St. As I spend my leisure time at 
the University Club, I would prefer to have my personal mail sent there. I am 
still pursuing the practice of law and am still one of the few remaining bachelors 
of the Class. 

I seldom see any of the fellows. Baker Johnson drops in to see me occa- 
sionally. He has changed very little, — is a little gray and growing stout. Tom 
McKoy I ran across at our last Alumni Meeting here and failed to recognize him, 
as he had grown so stout in the past thirty years. He is located in Baltimore, 
in the office of the Western Maryland Railroad, and we frequently see each other." 

"Joe" was present at the Class Meeting in June, '08, and helped turn the sod

for the '']'] Hall — after a long absence. He promises to be a regular attendant 
from this time forth, and cultivate closer relations with his classmates. Joe 
was for eight years Secretary of the Bar Association of Baltimore, a member of 
the Board of Governors of the University Club and its Secretary for three years, 
and for same period Secretary of the Baltimore Law School and a member of the 
Faculty. 

F. E. Brooks 

"My home address is 6649 South Halsted St., Chicago, 111. I was married 
to Mrs. N. F. Lynd, June 19, 1890, and we have no children to bless our home. 
As my mind travels back over the thirty years of life spent since leaving 
the association and doings of dear Old Nassau, I am strangely and strongly im- 
pressed with the rapidity with which the journey and work of life are rushing on 
to the tragic end. There is no turning back, our lives are governed by some un- 
seen hand, and we toil and struggle and attain those things which were intended 
as our part of the world's work. To some of us come honor, fame and glory, to 
others come wealth and power, but we cannot look at these forces as the only 
factors in the world's progress. 

There is another class who toil and labor even in obscurity ; to them fortune 
and fame are unknown, but who among us would be unkind enough to say aught 
against them on account of their humble life. 

"Let not ambition mock their useful toil, 
Their homely joys and destiny obscure." 

The thought that we have done something useful and necessary, something 
that has added comfort and happiness to others, is a pleasant one, and affords 
some gratification to our minds, even though we have not attained those things 
and ambitions that were our constant inspiration in more youthful days. 

The best part of my life was spent in the service of the L. S. & M. S. 
Ry. Co., and I am still in that service. How long I may rem.ain in this kind of 
work only the future can reveal. I am satisfied that I have been engaged in a use- 
ful and necessary kind of employment. The usefulness of the railroad to man- 
kind and the nation is great and manifold, no civilized country could do without 
it. The traffic of railroads is the greatest business ever carried on in the annals 
of the world. It is the greatest factor of our time, it has changed the conditions 
and revolutionized the habits and aspirations of mankind. Its volume and charac- 
ter measure the wealth of nations and indicate the limits of man's progress. 

I trust this will not be the last time I shall have the opportunity to communi- 
cate with my fellow classmates. The memory of dear Old Nassau is always with 
me. I sometimes thirst after the dear and lamented past. The names and faces 
of the living and our buried dead often come before me as they did in the days of 
long ago. 

Let me extend to all the living of our Class my kindest regards and draw 
a veil of sadness over our venerated dead." 

II 



Now, Brooks, you must break your record, and come to the next Reunion. 
You will then be able to add to your thoughtful review of "our past," some de- 
lightful reflections upon "our present." 

Orville S. Brumback 

"My home residence is 1603 Madison Avenue, with law offices at Nos. 530 
to 535 Nicholas Building, Toledo, Ohio. 

Am engaged in the active practice of the law, principally court work. Have 
found the law more congenial and remunerative than a political career could pos- 
sibly be; therefore have devoted myself to my profession and declined to run for 
public office since my term in the Ohio State Legislature. The result is, I have 
not startled the country with my work in public life, but with all due modesty can 
say, I have attained good standing and financial success with all the happiness I 
could desire. These, after all, are the highest ends attainable in this world, — and 
so feel I have gotten about all out of life there is in it. 

Was a member of the Ohio Legislature for two years. Have been Grand 
Consul (President) of The Sigma Chi College Fraternity, which I joined before 
entering Princeton. Have also been President of the Toledo Public Library and 
President and Director in many corporations. 

My Hterary work has been confined to numerous briefs and arguments in 
law suits — many of which involved large sums of money and most important ques- 
tions of law. 

Was married at Indianapolis, Ind., October 26, 1881, to Miss Jennie Carey, 
of Indianapolis. Being in every way congenial, we have lived most happily to- 
gether during all the intervening years, and only wish we could go all over it 
again. 

Have two daughters, viz. : — Blanche Carey, born March 4, 1885, and Lydia 
Ellen, born December 2, 1888. Blanche graduated at Vassar College with the 
degree of B.A., in June 1906, and was married to Lyman S. Spitzer, Esq., of 
Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 19, 1906. The happy young couple reside in Toledo, at 
No. 2519 Glenwood Ave. Lydia graduated in the Smead School for young 
ladies in Toledo, Ohio, in June 1907, and will enter "The Castle" school for young 
ladies at Tarrytown, New York, in September 1907, for a two years' finishing 
course. 

Living so far apart from Princeton '']'] men, I have no items of interest 
about the fellows except what I learn at the Reunions of the Class. In this 
connection, permit me to say that no ''jj man would fail to attend a "fifth year" 
class reunion who once attended a '']'] Reunion. The enjoyment of meeting the 
"Old Boys" and the inspiration derived from a visit to the modern Princeton with 
all its new and magnificent improvements, will repay a trip across the continent. 

As per request, I enclose a photograph, concerning which I think I hear you 
say with Shakespeare: — "Some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltness 
of time." 

To the old inquiry, "Is Saul also among our prophets?" must be added a 

12 



hew one — "Is Brumback also among our poets?" It would seem so, for he 
modestly encloses his bid for the honor of being "Class Poet," and Joe Potter 
better look to his laurels. 

THE YALE BARGAIN SALE. 
Written after the Princeton-Yale Baseball Game, June, 1907.

We're sorry for old Yale, 

Yes we are ! yes we are ! 

We're sorry for old Yale, 

Yes we are! yes we are! 

We're sorry for old Yale, 

For she's gone so awful stale, 

That her ball team is for sale, 

Marked way down, down, down. 

But we don't want to buy, 

No, we don't want to buy, 

No, we don't want to buy, 

Any Yale pie.

Oh ! won't they feel good and sore, 

Oh ! won't they feel good and sore, 

Oh ! won't they feel good and sore, 

When they hear the baseball score. 

Princeton! Princeton, Princeton,

Princeton ! Princeton ! 

We hail the Champion.

W. B. Bryan 

"I am engaged in the newspaper business. I am one of the officers of the 
Columbia Historical Society, and have written a number of papers on topics con- 
nected with the history of the District of Columbia, which are printed in the rec- 
ords of the Society. Some have appeared in separate forms and also as parts of 
volumes issued on special occasions. An account of the form of Government 
of the District of Columbia was printed for use as a text book in the public schools 
of Washington. A bibliography of the District of Columbia, the first undertaking 
of the kind, was completed under my supervision. 

Am married and have three children. My daughter Elizabeth is a member 
of the Class of 1909, Smith College, Northampton, Mass. My son Brantz expects 
to enter the door of 1912, Princeton University." 

Billy is still connected with "The Evening Star" in Washington, and the 
Secretary always rejoices to have a chat with him whenever he visits Washington. 
He is the same wholesome fellow, only more so.

William Burgess 

"My home address, The Woodlands, Morris Heights, Pa.; Post Office 
address, Box 563, Trenton, N. J. 

On leaving Princeton I entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons 
with the intention of making surgery my profession, but on account of a post 
mortem wound and ill health, my plans were changed. I entered the china and 
pottery business with Jai Campbell, in New York City, doing business under the 
name of William Burgess & Company. After a short experience in this line, as 
importers and jobbers, we had the opportunity of purchasing the business of the 
International Pottery Company at Trenton, N. J., and for many years we were 
very pleasantly associated together in that business, separating in 1895. From the 
year 1879 until 1904, I was actively engaged in this concern as its president. At 
the beginning of 1904 my duties as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the 
National Association of Pottery Manufacturers became so exacting that I resigned 
from the presidency of the International Pottery, and from that time to the 
present, have devoted my entire attentions to the broader interests of the pottery 
industry of this country. 

I have occupied the position of President of the State Charities Aid Asso- 
ciation of New Jersey ; American Consul to the great pottery center of England, 
under the Harrison administration; and for two terms. President of the United 
States Pottery Association. 

My writing has been confined to technical articles in relation to pottery 
matters and to consular reports bearing on the same general subject. 

My wife's name was Clara Dwight Goodman. We were married on 
January 7, 1879, at her home in East Orange, N. J. (Jai Campbell being a great 
assistance to me in dressing for that special occasion). 

Children: — William, Jr., born June 20, 1880, private school, New Jersey 
State Model School, Alford University. Clara Goodman, born Oct. 22, 1881, 
educated private school. New Jersey State Model School. John Stewart, born 
July 12, 1883, New Jersey State Model School, Lawrenceville School, Princeton 
University, Oberlin Theological Seminary. Elizabeth, born April 17, 1887, died 
Dec. 23, 1888. 

I know so many things in relation to the fellows, of a character unfit for 
publication, that I feel constrained to leave your request uncomplied with. As 
a single example of what I mean, there are several who have so lost their sense of 
morality as never to have attended a single reunion of the Class. This, of course, 
most of us consider the "unpardonable sin." It is to be hoped that, as they grow 
older, we may see indications of reform. "While there is life, there is hope," but 
each one of those referred to should realize that their opportunities for redeeming 
the past are growing fewer and fewer. 

I close with sincere regards and love for each of the fellows."

Am very actively engaged in the practice of law for ten months of each 
year, remaining two months devoted mostly to golf. 

Have never been an applicant for political office and never shall be; writ- 
ings confined to law briefs. 

Married Harriet Day Eames, Nov. 29, 1892, of this city. 

Children: Edwine Bushnell, born May 10, 1895, Clarence Eames Bushnell, 
born Jan. 10, 1899. Carolyn Bushnell, born Feb. 10, 1901. All at present in pre- 
paratory schools. 

One of the greatest regrets of the past thirty years of my life has been that 
I have so seldom met any of the fellows. I have occasionally seen our Secretary, 
Judge Smith and Pyne, and occasionally meet other members of the Class. An 
extended trip through the West, and later business relations, afforded me an 
opportunity, two years ago, of renewing my acquaintance with Williamson. I 
also then for the first time in several years saw Brooks, who is still located in 
Chicago. 

My life has been a very active one, devoted too exclusively to the practice 
of my profession. For something over twenty years I represented the traction 
roads of this city and personally defended all of the suits brought against them. 
My health compelled me to abandon connection with Street Railway litigation in 
1901, since which time I have been endeavoring to do less trial work, but have suc- 
ceeded only indifferently. 

Should fortune be kind enough to bring any of the fellows of ''j'j to this 
city at any time, they will find the door open to them at my home." 

William M. Butler 

"My home address is 2636 Osage St., St. Louis; office, Yeatman High 
School. Am actively engaged in professional life, being A-Ssistant Principal in 
the High School. Have assisted in editing several books on "Physics" and revised 
a great many others. 

Am married and have four daughters. My son died in 1894. My eldest 
daughter, Cora Leila, graduated from Wellesley College in June 1904. My daugh- 
ter Elsa May from Vassar in June 1905. My daughter Clara Wilhelmina, is a stu- 
dent in Vassar, Class of 1909. My daughter Alice Elizabeth has completed her 
studies in St. Louis High School and will enter Wellesley College." 

The Secretary is indebted to Mrs. Butler for information regarding our 
classmate , and she further writes : 

"My husband is perfectly devoted to his bicycle, which he has ridden every 
day (including zero weather as well as 105 degrees in the shade) in the last sev- 
enteen years. In the summer of 1907 his cyclometer registered 1,000 miles. A 
few years ago he toured New England States." 

Butler in sending his photograph writes : — "Princeton has hardly done her 
full duty toward securing students from St. Louis in recent years, and I hope for a 
reform in this direction."

Now, Butler, come to one of your Class Reunions and you will become the 
Reformer and draw St. Louis boys to Princeton. 

Frank G. Campbell 

"My home address is Cherry Valley, N. Y. Am not actively engaged in 
any business. Have the degree of LL.B. from Columbia. Am married and have 
three children. Alan F. was married December, 1904, to Louise Ida Fordham of 
New York. They have one child, Douglas Fordham Campbell, born Jan. 18, 
1906. 

Nothing has happened to me within the past ten years worth telling, except 
I am ten years older but do not feel it. Am living a quiet, happy, uneventful 
life at the old homestead where I was born. My two boys have grown up and 
gone into business in New York. 

All told, I have met something like five ^yy men in the past thirty years, but 
I am going to turn over a new leaf and look up some of the old fellows, so those 
with latch strings always hanging outside, beware!" 

Come on Frank, all the latch strings are in plain sight. 

Frederic Campbell 

"My address is 30 First Place, Brooklyn, N. Y. Pastor of Westminster 
Presbyterian Church, Clinton St. and First Place, Brooklyn, N. Y., for the past 
eight years. 

Moderator of the Presbyteries of Steuben, Boston and Brooklyn, the latter 
twice in succession. For the past three years Stated Clerk of the Presbytery 
of Brooklyn. Was Vice-President and am now President of the Department of 
Astronomy of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. A frequent lec- 
turer on Astronomy, for the Brooklyn Institute, the New York City Board of 
Education, and independently. Frequent writer for the religious and secular 
press, having written the astronomical matter for the Brooklyn Eagle for seven 
years and a half and now writing the same for the Boys' World. Also lecture 
and write on music and travel. 

Married Miss Mary B. Knight at Auburn, N. Y., Sept. 15, 1880. Have one 
son, Donald Argyll Campbell, born May 8, 1884. Graduated at Brooklyn Poly- 
technic Preparatory School and now a senior in Cornell University." 

Since the above was written, Fred has resigned his pastorate. 

John A. Campbell 

"I am actively engaged in the manufacture of pottery, being President of 
The Trenton Potteries Co. ; also President of the Trenton Banking Co., the 
second oldest bank in the state. I am interested in various religious, charitable 

16 



and philanthropic organizations, as I believe all men should be. Hard work con- 
tinues to be my portion but my lot has been a happy one. 

Am married and have one daughter, who was married June lo, 1908, to E. 
S. Aitkin of Trenton, N. J. 

At the Reunion in June 1907, I felt like saying in the words of old Simeon, 
'Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.' The University honored me with 
the degree of A.M. ; the Class presented me with a silver cup as big as a house and 
a salver as big as a lot, and to crown it all, the Class at the memorable Reunion 
feast agreed to give a dormitory to Princeton. What more could one want? 

I am most grateful for the confidence reposed in me by my classmates, and 
send affectionate greetings to one and all." 



C. S. Carnaghan 

"My home and office address, Fredericksburg, Va. At present and for 
past eighteen months, the firm of which I am a member, has been engaged in doing 
what the lumberman's wife described as "causing no trees to grow where Provi- 
dence has planted a lot." We are cutting timber over a fifteen-hundred-acre 
tract, mostly into railroad ties. Expect to finish in a couple of years and then 
move on to pastures new, location always indefinite. 

Have been lumbering for past three years, and prior to that time, for a 
term of years in the Republic of Mexico with a corporation, mining for silver, 
lead and copper. Life in the interior of old Mexico, eighty odd miles from a 
railway and over the Tropic of Cancer at eight thousand feet elevation, is almost 
ideal for health and comfort; the people are kindly and hospitable, like in Ire- 
land, there are no snakes; the air seems to be made over fresh every morning, 
and our strenuous life is reduced to the simple life, with but two days in the 
week, "Domingo" (Sunday) when one attends to religion in the morning and 
pleasure in the afternoon and evening, and "Manana" (tomorrow), when things 
may or may not be accomplished. Mexico is the land of promise and opportunity 
for young men of our country to-day, for we must own it eventually, commer- 
cially, if not politically. 

This about covers what I have been doing for past ten years. 

Have held no office nor written for publication. 

My first wife died in 1888 and on Feb. 20, 1893, I was married at Chicago, 
111., to Frances A. Bray. No children and consequently no grandchildren. 

By intuitive perception I would know a '"jy man wherever I should meet 
him, but have not seen any of the Class for so long a time that I will be forced 
to use that method when we do meet." 

Carnaghan has remained in seclusion for some years, but Scott and Van- 
Dusen ran him down and the Secretary did the rest, and we trust when next he 
changes his address he will not forget his old Class in Princeton.

H. D. Chapin 

Since graduation I have been engaged in the practice of medicine, although 
a large part of my work is with children. I still do family practice, with the 
exception of surgery and obstetrics. My consulting work, however, is very 
largely with children. Several years ago I brought out a book entitled 'The 
Theory and Practice of Infant Feeding, with Notes on Development', published 
by Wm. Wood & Co., New York, and now in its second edition. The work treats 
this subject from the biological standpoint and to this extent is new. I am now 
engaged in writing a book on the general diseases of infants and children for the 
same publishers. I have taught diseases of children in the Women's Medical 
College of the New York Infirmary and the University of Vermont, and for the 
past fifteen years have been Professor of the Diseases of Children at the New 
York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital. I am an attending physician 
to the New York Post Graduate, Willard Parker and Riverside Hospitals, and 
Consulting Physician to the Randall's Island Hospital. 

I have always been interested in sociological and philanthropic questions 
and have done some work along these lines. At present I am a Director in the 
New York Juvenile Asylum, the New York Post Graduate Hospital, the Plaven 
ReHef Fund Society, the Life Saving Benevolent Association, and President of the 
Working Women's Protective Union of New York. 

Two years ago I brought out a book entitled "Vital Questions" published by 
T. Y. Crowell & Co., of New York. It is a discussion of the various problems of 
life from the standpoint of the physician. 

I am probably the last member of the Class to marry. Last June I married 
Miss Alice Delafield at Annandale-on-Hudson." 

The New York Herald in interviewing our classmate regarding that paper's 
proposal to place a model dairy in the people's pleasure grounds, the parks of the 
city, refers to him in the following language: 

"Dr. Chapin is a recognized authority on the care and treatment of the 
very young. He has been so for twenty-five years and he is now in charge of 
the very large infants' ward in the Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital 
as professor of the diseases of children. The subject of milk, its production 
and the marketing of it has been his life study in connection with the treat- 
ment of children of all stations in life." 

Charles Sydney Clark 

"Your touching appeal received. I never saw or heard of the first appeal 
to the best of my knowledge and belief. The other Charles S. Clark, whom I 
see is in trouble again, possibly got my mail. 

Your inquiries remind me somewhat of the story of the widow who was 
asked how her husband was, and responded that he was dead. Being again 
asked a little later how her husband was, by the same person, she answered, 
"Still dead."

I have the same wife I had as per last report, (not being a Mormon and 
having no "affinities") and the same children. I have no grandchildren, although 
Frederic is married. 

I am still peddling law at the same old stand, and trying with indifferent 
success to collect 25 per cent of what my clients owe me. I have also been for 

twenty years one of these "d littery fellers," having been editor on "on 

the desk" in a number of great publications. 

I have not held or desired public office — with an assessment of twice the 
salary to pay to the County Committee — and my only positions of honor and 
trust have been those connected wiih the law and newspaperdom. About two 
years ago I was asked to run for Supreme Court Justice in a district in which no 
human being could tell how it would go next time. I declined with thanks and 
the nominee was elected by a majority of 7,000. Then I hired a nigger to kick me 
around the block. 

My published articles number over 1,000; too numerous to mention. No 
books. I have not received any degrees except from Princeton and Columbia, 
A.B,, A.M. and LL.B. Also, at the Reunion, the degree of A.S.S. for relying on 
the innocence of Armour's Best. 

My residence is on Fort Hill, Staten Island, P. O. address 54 Sherman 
Ave. My office is at 206 Broadway as before." 

W. T. Dawson 

"My record is brief, and while neither glorious nor inglorious, I fancy that 
I have had an average share of both good and bad. 

My address is 850 West End Ave., New York City. Am engaged in the 
practice of medicine, no books, little fame, less pay. Flave held no positions of 
honor or trust, except in a small way medically. 

Was married to Florence Eugenia Read on July 23, 1902, at New York, and 
have no children. 

Rarely see any of the fellows." 

James O'H. Denny 

Jim's letter is so like him that it is given in full. He does not change, as 
time deals lightly with him. He is the same dear old "Nig." 

"Dear John: 

Am awfully sorry to delay answering questions in your information circu- 
lar but mislaid it and forgot it. li all the boys had nothing more to report than 
I, your Record would be very uninteresting indeed. 

Perrnanent address. No. 211 4th Ave., Pittsburg. Home in spots. 

Am not engaged in any business. 

Am not married, have never been married and don't want to be. This being 
so, I have no information for you upon your further questions. Don't know 
when I have had a photo taken, but will try to scrape one up for you somewhere. 

Sincerely, J. O'H. D."

John S. Ely 

"My address is Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Am engaged in general business. 
Have held no positions of honor or trust worth mentioning. Was married to 
Bessie E. Shaver on Feb. 7, 1881 at Cedar Rapids, and have four children. 

John M. Ely, born April 23, 1884, and graduated at Princeton 1906, and is 
now in banking business. Mary Esther Ely, born May 7, 1888, now at Smith Col- 
lege. Frederick S. Ely, born June i, 1893, at home. Martha W. Ely, born Sept. 
12, 1897, at home. Have no grandchildren. 

Cal and I keep open house for any and all classmates, but I regret to say 
we are very seldom honored with a call. If proper, make this an ad. in the 
Record." 

In behalf of the Class, the Secretary accepts the invitation, John. We'll 
be there. 

Charles E. Evans 

"I beg to submit the following brief as per enclosed inquiries. My ad- 
dress is, Stockbridge, Mass., where I am actively engaged in business. Am Trus- 
tee of Savings Bank, on School Committee and have delivered several lectures of 
a literary nature. Am married and have three children. 

As to question five, I have nothing of interest to report, as I am too far 
away from Princeton. My photograph flatters me, as the photographer broke 
his lens several times in taking my "phiz." Love to all the fellows." 

Automobile fellows in trouble, note, that Charlie is a Justice of the Peace. 

Harvey Edward Fisk 

"My home address is 12 East 53rd St. ; business, 35 Cedar St. Am actively 
engaged in banking business, a member of the firm of Fisk & Robinson. Am mar- 
ried and have two sons." 

Thus briefly does Harvey Edward record the story of his most successful 
and useful life. He is one of the solid substantial business men of New York, and 
deserves his success. His eldest boy, a fine fellow, is at Princeton and expects to 
occupy a room in the 'yy Dormitory next year. (1909) 

J. R. FHckenger 

"My address is Lock Haven, Pa. I am Principal of State Normal School, 
my work being chiefly administrations, with some teaching. 

Was County Supt. of Schools, Perry Co., Pa., from 1881 to 1884. Member 
of Penna. State Legislature 1887 to 1889; Member Colorado State Legislature 
1891 to 1893. Trustee State Normal School of Colorado from 1892 to 1894. 
Normal School Principal, Edinboro, Pa., State Normal from 1896 to 1899. 
Principal Lock Haven, Pa., State Normal School from 1900 to the present. 

20 



President of the Penna. State Educational Association in 1902. Author of a text 
book on Civil Government. A.B. and A.M. from Princeton, D.Sc, Bucknell 
University. 

Was married to Miss Caroline Milligan Rice at New Bloomfield, Pa., in 
1888, and have one daughter, Jean C. Flickenger, born June 17, 1893, ^^ Pueblo, 
Col., and is at present a member of the Middle Class of the Lock Haven State 
Normal School." 

J. H. Ford 

"My address is Stony Ford, N. Y. Am not actively engaged in business. 
Was married in London, Feb. 7, 1906. You can secure my photograph in the 
'Three Short Stops' from George Armour." 

Thus does the Deacon come to a "short stop," and while the Secretary 
would like to have prolonged the interview, he has no criticism to offer. After 
the Reunion and his share in the glorious results, he can do as he pleases, and we 
are with him to a man. 

George W. Forsyth 

George writes from London. States he has no photograph, but afterwards 
repented and sent one. Remarks, "Don't think many of you will recognize the 
old man, but all the same I am much pleased that you want it. My address is 
No. 6 West 51st St., New York. Married Dec. i, 1884." 

David S. Funk 

"Am awfully sorry I had to trouble you to send me circular No. 2, but 
it is the old story, — forgot all about it. Am in the same town and in the same 
business as before. All the writing I have done has been of a strictly professional 
character and has been limited to articles only. Was married to Miss Matilda 
Motzer, of Mexico, Pa., Dec. 22, 1881. Our only child was born Jan. 29, 1884. 
He entered Princeton Sept., 1901, and graduated June, 1905. He is at present a 
student at law." 

F. P. Glass 

"My home address is 1030 South Hull St. and my office address care The 
Advertiser, Montgomery, Ala. 

I am actively engaged in newspaper work, as Managing Editor of The 
Montgomery Advertiser, and as Secretary and Treasurer of The Advertiser Co., 
the corporation owning that paper. 

I have been connected with this paper for twenty-two years, devoting the 
bulk of my time and thought to its upbuilding. During that period it has grown 
from a daily circulation of 3,000 to one of over 15,000 on week days and of 

21 



22,000 on Sundays. Its size has grown from eight pages on week days and 
twelve on Sundays to lo's, 12's and 14's on week days, and to 28's, 32's and 36's 
on Sundays. Its gross income has sexlupled, it has buih a four-story structure of 
its own, and it is generally conceded to be one of the most important papers in 
the Southern States. Its editorial utterances are frequently quoted by the greatest 
papers in the country. 

The Advertiser is a Democratic paper, but has always been outspoken and 
independent. It has never been the mouthpiece of any faction or ring. In 1896 
it would not recognize the Chicago platform as genuine, historic Democracy, 
and bolted the Bryan ticket. In Stale matters it has constantly fought for 
principle and against men the policies its conscience and judgment condemned. 
As a result the paper is feared by evil-doers and is respected by those who 
differ with it. 

I have never sought public office, believing that office-seeking is incom- 
patible with the independence of a newspaper man. Nor has any public office 
ever been given me. I am now holding the following places of trust and 
responsibility : 

Elder in the First Presbyterian Church. 

Trustee of the Alabama Presbyterian College. 

Director Alabama Bible Society. 

Vice-President Montgomery Commercial Club. 

Trustee Carnegie Library of Montgomery. 

Trustee Y. M. C. A. 

Director Alabama Agricultural Association (State Fair). 

Director American Newspaper Publishers Association of New York. 

I have written no books, but thousands of columns of newspaper matter, 
mainly of editorial character. 

The degrees I have received are A.B. and A.M. from Princeton. 

My wife's maiden name was Mattie Byrd Purnell, of Selma, Alabama. 
We were married at Solitude, Texas, April 2, 1884. She is still living. 

We have six children, all living, names and dates as follows : 

Frank P. Glass, Jr., born January 14, 1885. He graduated at Princeton 
this year (1907), and is now at work as a reporter on The Advertiser. He 
proposes to develop himself into a newspaper man. 

John Purnell Glass, born July 9, 1886. He is a member of the Class of '08 
at Princeton. He has spent his summers for some years in work connected with 
the business office of The Advertiser, and intends to keep it up after graduation 
at Princeton. 

Christine Glass, born August 14, 1888. She has been, during the past year, 
a student at the Woman's College and the Peabody Conservatory of Music, 
Baltimore, Md. 

Louise Glass, born October 8, 1890, who has been attending the Mont- 
gomery Public Schools. 

Evelyn Byrd Glass, born December 24, 1892, also attending the Mont- 
gomery Public Schools.

None of my children is married. . 

The only classmate in the South, of whom I see much, is Dick Walker, of 
Huntsville, Ala., whose law business brings him to the Montgomery Courts 
frequently. He has been on the Supreme Bench of the State, and was very 
strongly urged to President Roosevelt for a new Federal judgeship, created for 
Alabama last winter. No lawyer in the State stands higher among his profes- 
sional brethren in point of ability, attainments and industry, while his character 
is spotless in all respects. He has recently been employed by the Governor of 
the State as one of the counsel in the important litigation in the Federal Courts 
growing out of the anti-railroad legislation enacted by the Assembly this year. 

Dick Richardson, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., I occasionally see, and fre- 
quently hear of. He is a Judge on the Circuit bench and stands high as a lawyer, 
as a judge and as a man. 

Sam Johnson, of Columbus, Miss., I see now and then. The last I heard 
of him he was engaged looking after various important business interests of his 
father, who is quite an old man. Sam is still a bachelor. 

Another classmate I sometimes see, is Healey, of Atlanta. He has become 
quite a wealthy man and is closely occupied with diversified business affairs in 
Atlanta. A few years ago he married, and those at the recent reunion were 
very much surprised to see how very pretty a young woman the old rascal had 
succeeded in winning." 

G. H. Gowdy

C. G. Greene 

"My home address is 854 First Ave., Cedar Rapids, Iowa; office address, 
55 Kimball Building. 

My business is mostly the care and development of real estate, and is 
almost entirely confined to this locality. 

I have been placed in such positions of honor as these: Director of 
Commercial Club, Trustee of Coe College, Trustee and Director of the Y. M. 
C. A., Church Vestryman and Warden, President of Historical Society of Linn 
County, President of University Club, and a good many Masonic offices, both 
in the York and Scottish Rite. 

I wish especially to inform my classmates that I am Curator of the 
'Princeton Alcove' in the Free Public Library here. The Princeton Club of 
Cedar Rapids maintains this Alcove. It occupies a prominent place in the 
Library. Additional room will be provided as needed. There are exhibited here 
such Princetoniana as can be collected. The Club's object is to thus advertise 
the name and achievements of Princeton. I cannot qualify under items 4, 5 and 6." 

Cal, you were sadly missed at last Reunion. Do not disappoint us again.

M. T. Hargis 

"If you had not been one of the best natured fellows in the world, you 
would have cut my acquaintance long ago, for I have not deserved your persistent 
kindness. I have not, however, been as neglectful as I have probably appeared 
to be. I did want to send you a photograph, but had none of recent date. I sat 
for them twice, but both attempts resulted in what seemed to me to be lamentable 
failures. I know I am not quite so young as I was, but I hardly am prepared 
yet to be the Methuselah these photographs make of me. I will try it again in a 
very few days and will send you something that is at any rate intended to look 
like me. This will have to be my contribution to the Record. I have no eventful 
career to tell you of. I have written no books, acquired no titles, sought no 
office, nor done anything very disreputable. My very best wishes for you and 
all the members of the old Class." 

Hargis is a good looker, as his photograph discloses, so he is excused for 
not wanting to look older than he is. There are others. 

Frank Hartley 

"My address is 6i West 49th St., New York City. Am actively engaged in 
surgical work. Am attending Surgeon to New York Hospital, consulting Surgeon

Walter Hazard 

"My home address is Georgetown, S. C. ; office address, 117}^ Screven St. 
Am actively engaged in practice of law. Was admitted to the bar of this state 
in 1882, having read law in the office of Hon. Richard Dozier of Georgetown, 
one of the leading lawyers of South Carolina. Have practiced continuously since 
1882, in both State and Federal Courts. 

In 1882 established weekly newspaper, Georgetown Inquirer, which I pub- 
lished until 1889, and then sold out, retiring from journalism on account of 
increasing demands of my law practice.

Representatives of S. C. Defeated for same office in 1884. ^^ 1888 again elected 
to the House, and re-elected in 1890. In 1892 was elected to the State Senate

I have seen none of the ^"jj boys since the Reunion of 1887, except Jim 
Denny, who paid me a flying visit in the Winter of 1905 while on a trip to 
Summerville, S. C, near Charleston. I greatly enjoyed having him at my 
home and chatting over old times with him, though he spent only a day here. 
Saw Frank Speir, Jai Campbell, Ingens Pyne on a pleasant trip I took to New 
York in 1899; went down to Princeton and spent a delightful day at Pyne's with 
Jai Campbell. Have heard frequently from Jai Campbell and Frank Speir, and 
occasionally from John Scott, Bill Libbey and Ingens Pyne." 

W. T. Healey 

"My home address is No. 89 Ivy St. ; office address, 28 Peachtree St., At- 
lanta, Ga. Since leaving college have been actively engaged in business as a 
builder, manufacturer and handler of real estate. Have erected some nice struc- 
tures and have been fairly successful. Most of my building has been on my own 
property, that is, improving central real estate for stores, hotels, etc. Have also 
acquired and built in an adjoining town a car line and developed a valuable mine- 
ral water property. 

Have studiously avoided both public and political life; am not suited to 
fill either. Have always furnished my own grindstone when I had an ax to grind, 
and not being able to be Everything to Everybody, I cannot be made a tool of 
by politicians ; also being averse to wearing any man's or set of men's collars, 
the politicians have not run in my crowd to any extent. 

Am a Deacon in the First Presbyterian Church, an office filled by my fa- 
ther during his life. Have written some for the magazines. 

25 



Was married Jan. 7, 1904, to Miss Ada Niles Moore at Atlanta, Ga. Have 
one son William Thomas Healey, Jr., born Nov. 9, 1904. His present occupation 
is turning somersaults on a large shawl spread on the floor in the study where I 
am trying to write, and every time he goes over he calls out, "Look, Papa." 

There are so few Princeton men here, or near here, I only see them very 
seldom. They have an Alumni Society here, but the number is so small we only 
exist in a social way. I see Glass of ''jj quite often, and J. C. Jenkins of '76, until 
his appointment as Judge of the Federal Court in the Philippines. Had a call 
from liilly Burgess of Trenton on his way South a short time ago." 



Morris Hoats 

"My home address is 29 South Seventh Street, my business address 610 
Hamilton Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania. 

I am practicing law and am a director of the Merchants' National Bank and 
several business corporations of this city, but have not yet been able to retire 
from active business. 

Not having any taste for politics I have never been a candidate for or held 
any public or political office. I have received no degree except those conferred in 
course. 

My wife's maiden name was Nora Nelson,- and we were married at her 
home in Frederick, Maryland, on November 12, 1890." 

Morris regrets his inability to be at Princeton this year (1908), as "his 
health has not been gootl, and he is preparing for a long absence. Our best 
wishes go with you, Morris. 



F. W. Hughes 

"I have delayed writing trying to get the photo. Everyone that the artist 
presented me with made me look so much older than I thought it should, that I 
told her that she must try again. Finally she said this was the best that she 
could do, so I sent it, but wish to state that I really look about ten years 
younger ("so say we all of us, Frank"). I have been practicing medicine here 
since 1881. My work has been most agreeable to me and my success all that I 
could have anticipated. I am still actively engaged and will probably so continue 
for some time. 

Was married in 1863 to Miss Caroline A. Winder, of Raleigh, N. C, and 
we have had seven children, six of whom are living. We have only one little girl 
at home. My eldest daughter Octavia is married to Mr. Wm. Dunn, Jr., an attor- 
ney of this place. 

Annie died in infancy. Isaac is a Junior at Chapel Hill University of N. 
C. He expects to be a civil engineer and has done some work with engineer corps 
on the Norfolk & Southern and the S. & W. R. Roads, and also was on the Geolog-

ical Survey in Virginia. Mary is a student at Mary Baldwin Seminary, Staunton, 
Va. John Winder is a Freshman at the University of North Carohna. 

James and Carol are at home. I hope to have a representative at Prince- 
ton before the boys get through with their education ; but, up to the present have 
not been able to carry out that wish. 

I am sorry to say that I see nothing of the members of the Class. Last 
Spring while in Washington, I called upon Dr. Balloch and had an exceedingly 
pleasant visit with him. It always gives me great pleasure to meet my friend, 
R. A. Springs, when in New York. I had hoped and had looked forward with 
much pleasure to being at the Class Reunion last June, but was prevented by pro- 
fessional engagements." 

J. C. Hume 

"I thank you sincerely for your manifest interest and your former very 
pronounced courtesies to myself. I will gladly forward you a photo at once, 
which you can add to the Record or omit, as you think best." 

Hume was present for a short time at the 30th Reunion and has changed 
but little. 



Henry C. Hunt 

The fellows who have seen Hunt report no change from last report. He 
graduated at Lafayette and naturally his affections center at Easton. 

M. W. Jacobus 

"I am actively engaged in the teaching of the New Testament to the stud- 
ents of Hartford Theological Seminary — not, I trust, as a "profession", but as 
a devotion to the aims of a life work into which I came sixteen years ago, and 
from which I trust nothing short of the helplessness of age will take me. In 
1887 I was elected Trustee of Lincoln University, at Oxford, Pa., where my 
parish was located. From this position I resigned in 1904, after coming into 
New England. In 1890 I was chosen to a place on the Board of Trustees of 
our Alma Mater, and am still trying to serve her interests there. In 1897-8 I 
was Stone Lecturer at Princeton Seminary, and since 1903 have been Dean of 
the Faculty of Hartford Seminary. 

In 1898 Lafayette College gave me the degree of D.D., which I but poorly 
deserved. I have written but one book and this was simply the lectures I gave 
at Princeton on New Testament Criticism. I was Contributing Editor-in-Charge 
of the New Testament Department of the Neiv International Encyclopaedia, and 
with the help of others am editing now a work soon to appear under the title of 
A Standard Bible Dictionary. On 8th January, 1896, I married Clara M. Cooley, 
youngest daughter of Flon. Francis B. Cooley of Hartford. 

27 



We have had four children, two boys and two girls. Three are still liv- 
ing: 

Maritje Kip, born May 3, 1898. 

Clarissa Cooley, born August 26, 1903. 

Melancthon Williams, III, born February i, 1907. 

Porter Ogden was born February 9, 1901, and died February 19, 1901." 

Pyne (and he knows) says Jake is one of the most valued men on the 
Board of Trustees. We have a great trio on the Board, Pyne, Jacobus and 
Thompson. We are with the Irish witness in his answer to the question, "Are 
you opposed to foreign corporations ?" "I am not," he replied, "I would to heaven 
there were more of them." 



D. D. Jenkins 

"My address is Wilkes-Barre, Pa. I am still in the ministry and love it 
enough to continue in it until death. I have given to the public press, "Remi- 
niscences of President McCosh," "The Beauty of a Sunset," "A Big Contrast," 
"The True and the False," "Columbia," the national song, is doing good service 
and is being praised. The following poems seem to have caught the public eye 
and touched a heart cord : "Ofifie Downs," "The Dawn of Peace," "The Star of 
Bethlehem," "The Voices," "The Maiden's Death," "Invitations," "Mercy's An- 
gel," "The Christ Is Young," "The Praying Shepherd," "The Cottage by the 
Lake." "Our Flag" was set to music by Prof. James Parson Price of New York, 
a former pupil of the famous Manuel Garcia. My last, "The Christ of Power," 
was set to music by Prof. J. I. Alexander, also a musician of national reputation. 

The splendid ovation given "the class poet" after reading the presentation 
poem at the banquet of our last Reunion, created a spot that will ever remain pleas- 
ant and green in his memory through the years to come. 

I was married Dec. 6, 1881, to Miss Laverne Sherwood, who died Dec. 10, 
1898. We had two children, Albert S. and Harriet M. ; the former died Sept. 14, 
1900, at the age of eighteen years. My daughter is at present a member of the 
Senior Class of Westchester State Normal, Pennsylvania. 

Since the Reunion, I visited at the home of our classmate. Best, of North- 
ampton, Mass. He is making his mark in Journalism, as editor of the "New 
Hampshire Gazette." Best and his "better half" are royal entertainers. 

I have had two pastorates, The First Presbyterian Church of Frostburg, 
Md., and the First Presbyterian Church of Smithville, N. Y., with fair achieve- 
ments in both. For some time I have made my home in Wilkes-Barre, supplying 
the city churches. During the last year I have filled some of the most important 
pulpit engagements of my life, and it is very gratifying to learn with very compli- 
mentary results. 

I regarded the last Reunion a brilliant success. Let the "Memorial Ser- 
vice" be a permanent feature. Plow my poor heart aches every time I receive a 

28 



card with a black border from our faithful Secretary. The same heart of hearts 
says now, "Long life — good health — great success — to every one of the fellows." 

No Reunion is complete without the presence of Jenkins, and long may he 
live to be with us and bring his song composed for the occasion. 

Baker Johnston 

Baker was found in Jersey City and sent his photograph and said, "I ex- 
pect to return to Chicago soon." Tommy McKoy says he is an expert Railroad 
Auditor, and has been living in Baltimore for some time. 

E. R. Johnson 

Self: (i) Cumberland, Maryland. 

(2) Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court for Allegany County. 

(3) None. 

Wife: (4) Wife is not living; she never was. 

Children: (5) They are in same fix. 

Grand: (6) Idem. 

Classmates: (7) Saw Tommy McKoy the other day — only one I've seen 
for years. 

P. S. — I have answered the questions just as a Deputy Clerk should, to 
wit: "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Of course, in my 
unsworn position of "old bachelor," I could say a great many things (to the la- 
dies) about "positions of honor and trust" that I should have occupied (but 
didn't), and the ladies would not pay the least attention to me, for which wise 
action on their part I would admire them all the more, if such a thing were pos- 
sible. 

Dear Jai : I could fill up your whole book with things that I haven't done, 
but your questions only touch on Sins of Commission — 

Ergo : I am, according to your catechism, an angel (sans wings and tail 
feathers). 

Pardon me, Jai, for talking in this serious fashion, but when a fellow feels 
serious, it is hard to curb the spontaneity — I am such an insignificant member of 
the great Class of 'yy, that I feel almost ashamed to write anything for the 
Record : — but, dear Jai, cut out any or all of it, if you see fit, and whatever 
you do is right. 

And, as for the others, I loved in youth — 

I have only this to say : 
And I say it simply as the truth — 

I love them in the same old way. 

"Slab" has entered the contest as Poetaster of 'yy, and his prize poem is 
given in full. 

29 



Jai Campbell dares me to write a poem ; 
lie thinks I can't; so, I'll just show him — 
Byron, Moore and our own Syd Clark 
Have Genius, but they lack that spark 
Which gives the unmistakable shine 

To others — for instance specially mine. 

"I say it who shouldn't," but if I neglect 

To say it, it might go unsaid — I suspect. 

Now and then — sometimes — I almost regret 

That I was "born-not-made" — and yet 

I know it's wrong — yes, very wrong; 

Remembering "life is short" not long 

We have to suffer and complain — 

And, even poets must be born again — 

We poets are very much like the mosquito ; 

(Now Jai, of course you've the right to veto 

Whatever I say) — Yes, we're like mosquitoes 

Since — what we were put here for, God only knows ! 

The sands have crept through our glass so fast. 

There are only a few more to creep — 

All we have to think of is the past 

And soon all 'tj will be asleep — 

It is no joke — but, fully worth the while; 

Let it provoke at least a little smile — 

We've had our day — now comes the night ; 

In the natural way — it's all right — all right — 

We're like a Hock of scattered sheep — 

Or herd of wild horses gone astray — 

Let our dream be — e'er we've fallen to sleep. 

We'll meet at the dawn of that other day. 

S. B. Johnston 

"There are no incidents of my life which can be of any possible interest to 
my classmates, so there is nothing for me to say in reply to the circulars I have 
received from yon. If the opportunity arises I will have a picture made and sent 
to you, with kind regards." 

Sam, if we had no interest in you, we would not have spent time in writing 
you again and again. 

W. W. Johnston 

"I retired from business something over a year ago, but already begin to 
realize that doing nothing is the hardest kind of work; and believing that it is 
probably better to "wear out than to rust out" I shall no doubt be in harness 
again soon. 

In reply to third (jucstion, — none whatever — not even an alderman. Mar- 
ried Miss Josephine Chapman, Jan. 25, 1880, at Eau Claire, Wis. It has been my 
misfortune not to have met any of the fellows for years.

I shall be very much interested in the forthcoming Record, and which I 
am sure will record achievements and successes of many of the fellows that we 
will all be proud of." 

R. B. Kimball 

"Kim" dashes off with his usual careless grace the following : It is too brief 
for him; does not sound natural. 

1. 15 E. 41st Street. 

2. Busy. 

3. None. 

4. Married Caroline T. Knox. 

5. Two little pledges of our mutual affection. Ruel Baker, Jr., born Feb. 
28, 1894; Esther Caroline, born Aug. 11, 1897. 

6. None. 

7. Andy McCosh and Frank Hartley have become Christian Science 
Healers. 

The boy goes to preparatory school this Fall in preparation for Princeton." 

The Secretary desires to state for the benefit of some tired pedestrians 
of '']'], during the Reunion that he tried Kim's auto at a most enjoyable visit at 
his home in Seabright and it is all right. 

David Laughlin 

The Secretary had not heard directly from Dave, and concluded that he 
must be ill, as always heretofore he has replied to communications promptly. 
Bowers, however, visited him lately and found him recovering from an attack of 
the grip. He preaches occasionally, but at present has no regular charge. He 
still resides in Baltimore. 

J. H. Laughlin 

Home address is 3817 West St., Oakland, Cal. ; office address is 911 
Stockton St., San Francisco — that is, this will be the place as soon as our new 
Chinese church is completed, which will be about the last of October. 

The last Record left me at Chining-chow, China. There my wife died in 
May, 1899, and I brought our small daughter home to the United States. Thus 
I escaped the Boxer Uprising, which occurred soon after, and possibly saved my 
life, as the movement originated close by my China home. 

In 1 901 I returned to my post, because there was no one else to take it. 
I remained three years, then came home to the sad-hearted little daughter whom 
I had left behind. 

Meanwhile the Board of Foreign Missions, whom I had served for twenty- 
three years, asked me to take the superintendency of the Chinese Missions in 
California, and hither I gladly came, in the spring of 1904. 

31 



On the i8th of April, 1906, our home was shaken, with the rest of San 
Francisco, by the great earthquake, and two days later was consumed by the 
destructive fire which followed. 

Chinatown was entirely wiped out. We, with most of our Chinese people, 
fled to Oakland, on the east side of San Francisco Bay, and here have been 
living, and carrying on our work, since. Present indications are that San Fran- 
cisco will soon become the center of our operations once more. 

My friends would probably say that my highest honor was the election to 
the moderatorship of the Synod of North China, in 1903, but my own abiding 
conviction is that nothing more honorable has, or can, come to me than the 
privilege of being a missionary, and baptizing something like a thousand Chinese, 
as they entered the Kingdom of God on earth. 

No books have been produced by my hand and brain. All that I have 
done in that line has been in the way of articles for church magazines and papers, 
two or three of which have been published, by the Board, as pamphlets. No 
degree has been forced upon me by competing institutions of learning, though on 
this Pacific coast where the people give divinity titles with the same prodigality 
that the South confers the military kind, none of the boys of ^'j'j need fail to 
recognize me if they hear of 'Doctor' instead of 'Jai.' Laughlin. 

In April, 1904, I was married, in Princeton, New Jersey (best place on 
earth), to Annie May Boyd. To save the boys from the trouble of looking up 
former Records, I will frankly confess that this is my third marriage, which ought 
to be good evidence that I have been happily, as well as much, married. 

My Mary Hood Laughlin, whose name appears in former Records, and 
who was born in Tungchow, China, Dec. 14, 1882, passed into the life eternal 
on Decoration Day, 1901, after an operation for appendicitis. 

Returning to China, I left her on the 12th of April, and had hardly 
reached my station, ten thousand miles away, when the news came that I should 
see her no more on earth. 

My only remaining child — Lina Isabel, born in Wei-hien, China, Oct. 18, 
1889 — is with me in California. She is attending the Oakland High School, 
preparing for a college course at Mt. Holyoke, Mass. 

When home on my last furlough I saw a good deal of J. R. Flickinger, and 
was impressed with the good work he is doing as principal of the State Normal 
School in Lock Haven, Pa. A good faculty of instructors and several hundred 
students are connected with the institution. Flick, is wielding a good influence, 
which is an honor to the class. R. M. Mateer manifests the same singleness of 
purpose and dauntless energy that he did in younger days. Thousands of 
Chinese know him. and feel the eflfect of his selfdenying labors among them. 

L. D. Wishard is selling Canada timber, wheat, and land, but not too 
engrossed to do a lot of good as he goes along." 

Frank S. Layng 

"My vocation in life has not been in the literary line, so here goes the 
answer to your conundrums briefly. 

32 



Holland House, New York City. 

Retired. 

None. 

Mary Williams Cowan, Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 3, 1884. 

Nothing doing. 

Therefore ditto. 

Have seen little of them, except at 30th Reunion, at which time some 



of them were much in evidence." 

Frank is also an immortal "Short Stop," and did great work at the 30th 
Reunion Dinner, not only exhibiting great generosity, but urging others to come 
to the front. His longest and greatest speech was condensed in these few 
memorable words, "I am no speech maker, but money talks here. How much 
wiU you give for the '']'] Dormitory?" Brief, characteristic and pointed. 

F. A. Leavenworth 

"Home and office, 186 Lake Ave., Rochester, N. Y. I am an invalid, 
caused by paralysis several years ago, two shocks of it. I am improving a little. 
I am not discouraged. Am unable to walk, talk little, etc. 

Was Secretary of Educational Board in Bismarck, N. D., about twenty 
years ago. I am a bachelor. I have not corresponded with any of my classmates 
recently." 

J. M. Libbey 

Have no word from Joe. He resides in New York City, has his mail sent 
to Union League Club, but beyond the fact that letters are received by him, the 
Secretary has no information. 

William Libbey

1892, and 1896. Also, the General College Catalogue in 1896; and was an Editor 
and Manager of the Princeton College Bulletin during most of its career. 

Besides being a member of the First Princeton Scientific Expedition in

Inspector General of Rifle Practice of the State of New Jersey, with the rank of 
Lieut.-Colonel. Have been for the past four years a member of the New Jersey

George Kennedy Libbey, born April 26, 1890; died April 27, 1891." 

Edwin Manners 

"At this even-tide of our Class, it would seem that every member of it 
was too well known and established in society, church, state and other categories 
of life, to have a lot of statistical questions flung at him in regard to his status 
in the several kinds. It would be pleasanter and less egotistical if you would act 
as biographer-general, and write us all up, — always up, — never the other way. 

Personally, I presume I am just what I am. While still engaged in legal 
practice, I find that demands of my own affairs engross most of my attention and 
keep me from doing much else. I have enough serious work to do and sufficient 
leisure. My health is good and I hold myself well in hand with an eye on the 
various tangents. I am fond of horseback riding, but my pet horses are dead. 
I amuse myself with letters and social diversions. I look out of my window on 
an interesting world, with keen dehght and with a wealth of kindly feeling for 
everybody, good, bad and indifferent. This may be a pliable, complacent phil- 
osophy, but it is an agreeable one and has its advantages. It may also have its 
reservation for the enemy lurking in the dark — none appears in the open. I am 
inclined to be reticent, and reticence is such a beautiful thing and saves so much 
trouble. 

At your request I send my picture. I always retain in my heart a warm 
place for 'j'] and Old Nassau." 

Judge, I have published it as written. I could not blue-pencil it if I would.

Have no word from Robert direct, but Jai Laughlin writes: "You can bet 
your bottom dollar that he is spending every last atom of muscle and gray matter 
in incessant labors for the salvation of China. He was married to Miss Madge 
Dickson, M.D., Jan. 20, 1891. To them have been born two children, William 
Dickson Mateer, July 21, 1892, and Julia Kathleen Mateer, Nov. 3, 1896, but 
both have since died." His brother writes that Rob's daughter Jean Archbald,

Andrew is recognized by medical authorities as one of the best surgeons 
in the country. He wears his honors modestly and has as warm and generous 
a heart as ever beat in human breast. He deserves all his success and more if 
possible. 

Since the above was written, our friend and classmate has been called home. 
On Nov. 28, 1908, he was thrown from his carriage in a runaway accident, and 
sustained injuries which resulted in his death on Dec. 2, 1908. The Princeton 
Alumni Weekly in its issue of Dec. 9, 1908, refers to our classmate in the 
following terms : 

THE DEATH OF DR. McCOSH '^^ 

In the death of Dr. Andrew James McCosh '']'], Princeton has lost one of its most 
distinguished and loyal graduates, and the country one of its foremost surgeons. Dr. McCosh 
died at the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, at ten o'clock on Wednesday night, December 
2nd, five days after the runaway in which he was injured. He had been unconscious most 
of the time since the accident. His mother was with him constantly from the day he was 
, hurt till his death. Telegrams, letters, and other messages of sympathy, many of them from 
Europe, were received to the number of four hundred a day, and the stream of callers was 
incessant. Nearly two hundred physicians and surgeons and a large number of nurses 
volunteered their services. Dr. McCosh's old college friend, and later his colleague in New 
York, Dr. M. Allan Starr '76, was in constant attendance, and his classmate. Dr. Frank 
Hartley ^Tj, was among the numerous eminent surgeons who attended him. 

The funeral service was held at ten o'clock Saturday morning, December sth, at the 
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church of New York, and was conducted by the pastor, Dr. J. 
Ross Stevenson, and Dr. Wilton Merle Smith 'tj. 

The large church was filled, about three hundred alumni of Princeton and the leading 
representatives of the public, business and the professional life of New York being present. 
Members of the Class of 'T] attended in a body and were seated opposite the family. A 
touching feature was the presence of a large number of persons, probably several hundred, who 
had been Dr. McCosh's patients, many of whom owe their lives to his remarkable surgical 
skill. Rarely has the death of a private citizen produced so profound a shock in New York, 
and the grief of the assembled audience was very manifest throughout the service. 

The casket was covered with a mantle of white roses, and around the pulpit were floral 

37 



trihiilcs in unusual profusion. As Mrs. McCosli, his aged niotlifr, t'ulfrcd, attended hy her 
family of children and grandchildren, llie husii of reverent silence was most affecting. 

The service was very simple. Two hymns were sung hy the choir, "Rock of Ages" and 
"Lead Kindly Light," Dr. Stevenson read selections from the Scriptures, and Dr. Smith 
offered prayer. At the conclusion of tlic service the family with several friends accompanied 
tlu' hody lo I'rinetlon, vvlicrc lln' inUrnunl was made in the President's Plot of the old 
cemetery, next to llie grave of Dr. McCosh's distinguished father, President James McCosh. 
The commitment service was conducted by the Rev. Sylvester Beach '76, pastor of the First 
I'rcsliyterian C'hin-ch of Princeton. 

Jn reviewing- his life, a deserved and beatitifnl lril)nle was wrillen by I'rof. 
M. y\llan Starr i)i '76, and was pnljlisheil in 'I'lie Trincelon .Alninni Weekly of

AN AI'PRKCIATION 

Princeton :dmnni .and the medical profession of this country have met with a great loss 
ill tin- (Kalh of I )r. Me( osli, for there was no one in New York, either among the Princeton 
men or among the surgeons, who occupied, deservedly, a higher position. 

The grandson of Dr. Alexander Guthrie, for years the foremost surgeon of Rdinburgh ; 
and the son of President James McCosh of l^rinceton, and of his wife, Isabella Guthrie, Dr. 
McCosh inherited many of those sterling qualities of Scotch perseverance, stern integrity and 
noble ideals characteristic of his family, lie was born in Belfast, in 1858, and was brought 
to this country in 1868, when President McCosh took over the direction of the college. In 
Princeton he grew up and was prepared for college, from wliieli he graduated with honor 
in 1877. One of a class long since distinguished for its success, a class which has shown an 
umistia! class loyalty and a remarkable devotion to the interests of Princeton, a class which 
numbers many eminent men. Dr. McCosh was always a leader. As time went on and as the 
men of '77 attained their acknowledged positions in the community, the fame of Dr. McCosh 
as a surgeon steadily grew, until it may be said that he had become one of the foremost 
surgeons of the United States, respected and hcMiored throughout the world. This distinction 
was won by steady, persistent, untiring work in his profession. 

He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Medical Department of 
Coiuiiibia University, in iXcSo, being one of the ivn honor nun of his class of 160 members; 
and he completed his i)rei)aration for his work by serving a year and a half as interne in the 
Chambers Street Hospital in New York, and by a year of post-graduate study in Vienna. 
On his return, in 1HS2, he was taken into partnership by Professor T. Gaillard Thomas, then 
the leading gynecological surgeon of New York, with whom he worked for eleven years, 
until I )r. Thomas' death, lie soon became recognized as a clever young surgeon. He had 
ae([uiiHil the knowledge which leads to accurate diagnosis; he had the .skill which was 
necessary for successful operations ; and he also had those personal qualities which made his 
judgment s<-em reasonable to patients, and wliich conmianded their conlldence, their personal 
regard, and tlieir implicit faith in liis lioiusty ;nul integrity. 

In hSSS he was appointed an attending pliysician to the Presliyterian Hospital, and tliis 
position he retained up to the day of his death. This position carried great responsibility, .ind 
gave him gre.at oiiportunities for constant important work. Three days in the week, from 
two to six o'clock, he was operating continuously, on every sort of surgical disease, — meeting 
serious emergencies as they arose, facing grave responsiliililies ;is tiiey were presented, 
undertaking new and original procedures with courage ami skill, and accomplishing results 
of great importance, and so recognized by the surgical profession the world over. 

In the Prisbyttrian Hospital he luld his clinics,- -public operations with lectures and

running comments upon the case before him, — as Professor of Clinical Surgery for the New 
York Polyclinic, a post-graduate school of medicine, until 1895, and from 1895 to the time 
of his death as Clinical Professor of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. These climes 
were attended by students of Columbia, and also by surgeons visiting New York from all 
over the world, who came to observe his methods, and to profit by his experience. 

As that experience grew, he began to contribute to medical and surgical literature, to 
publish the reports of rare and unusual cases, to give the results of his operations to his 
surgical confreres, and to discuss in an exhaustive manner subjects in which his conclusions 
were of value. From 1889 to 1908 no year passed in which he did not publish an important 
article in the surgical journals. Some of these articles, viz., those upon the "Surgical 
Treatment of Brain Tumors" and of "Epilepsy," upon "Acute Peritonitis," upon "Appendi- 
citis," upon "Gall-stones," upon "Spinal Surgery," and upon the "Surgical Treatment of 
Exophthalmic Goitre," attracted wide attention and were translated abroad into several 
languages. His address before the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, in 
Washington, 1897, and his address before the International Congress of Surgery in Brussels 
in 1905, both on the subject of peritonitis, won for him world-wide fame. At the time of 
his death he had just completed an encyclopsedic article on this subject for Keen's System 
of Surgery. Thus he made his own knowledge available to others and has left behind him 
a contribution to surgical literature of no mean value, as nearly forty important articles on 
surgical subjects were published by him during the past twenty years. In the New York 
Academy of Medicine, and in the Clinical and Practitioners' Societies, of all of which he 
was an active member, his papers and discussions were listened to with interest and respect. 
On the subjects of abdominal surgery and of brain surgery he was an authority, and in the 
latter field he was known as an original inventive operator, skillful and successful, in a most 
difficult special line of work. 

That his position as a leader was accepted by the members of the profession is attested 
by the fact that for two years he held the position of President of the New York Surgical 
Society. In 1904, in recognition of his attainments, Columbia University conferred upon him 
the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, and in 1906 Princeton gave him the same degree. 

But aside from his professional reputation. Dr. McCosh had attained a recognized 
position in New York City as a man of high character, of wide sympathy, and of many social 
and philanthropic interests. His charity was shown in his constant willingness to give his 
services freely without any regard for the pecuniary returns, and the large majority of his 
operations were done for the poor without pay. The records of the hospitals show 1600 such 
operations for appendicitis alone. In a city where financial success is regarded too highly, 
he was known to be a man of moderate fees, and one whose first thought was the good of the 
sufferer, and not his own profits. In many cases known to the writer he never asked for any 
payment after successful operations because on learning more about his patient he found that 
the fee might embarrass him. It is possible that this liberality was at times abused, but he 
never grudged it, as he found his greatest satisfaction in the good done. And withal his 
extreme modesty, his unwillingness to put himself forward and his cordial appreciation of 
the work and merits of others, even of the young members of his house staff at the hospital, 
added to the devotion of his associates and friends. During the past year he made it a point 
to gather at his office, on one evening in every month, the younger men connected with the 
hospital, in order to have an informal talk and discussion of the most recent discoveries in 
surgery, thus coming into closer contact with the staff and with the men who had recently 
left the hospital service and were starting out in practice> Thus he kept in touch with the 
young surgeons, many of whom had been his students, or had been studying abroad under 
his direction. For by his personal acquaintance with the foremost surgeons of Great Britain 
and the Continent, kept up by his yearly summer trip abroad, he was able to send these young 
men to the clinics of Europe and secure their admission to many privileges not open to the 
crowd. The devotion of these men was shown during his illness, when the hospital was 
crowded by anxious inquirers, all eager to offer their services, to watch night and day by 
his bedside, and at his funeral, when there assembled in the church one of the largest bodies 

39 



of medical men ever brought together in the city. If it is the greatest reward of a surgeon 
to advance his science, to secure the admiration, respect and love of his associates, to win 
the devotion of his grateful patients, poor and rich, and to be cherished in the hearts of all 
who knew him, Dr. McCosh certainly received his reward.

looked well and was returning from the west to Maryland to engage in business. 
I always call up our old classmate "Slabby" Johnson when I go to Cumberland, 
where he still lives and helps to keep the Court Machinery greased in the 
capacity of Assistant to the Clerk of the Circuit Court. While there is a large 
number of Princeton men here and in Baltimore, these are the only members 
of dear old 'j'] whom it has been my pleasure to meet since leaving the Eastern 
shore, where our friend, Marion T. Hargis, still lives and continues to associate 
with him in business ex-Governor, next U. S. Senator, John Walter Smith and 
State Senator John P. Moore — Marion lets them work the political field while 
he keeps the "pot boiling" at home. 

I look forward with a great deal of happiness to reading the new record

"There is really nothing new to write about myself. I am in the same 
place and doing the same work I have done for nearly twenty years. I have 
managed to keep out of the hands of the Sheriff and thus bring disgrace on '"jy, 
but have not gained any great fame by any of my work. My principal growth 
has been below the belt. Brains seem about stationary. My chances of wife, 
children or grandchildren seem as remote as ever. 

I see very little of classmates. The only one I have seen recently was 
John Ely ; he paid me a short call a few days ago."

Do not know anything of special interest in reference to any of the Class. 
Did not stay and graduate — have always regretted that I did not remain — so have 
not felt as though the Class had any special interest in me."

active part in politics. Any of the boys intending to make election bets better 
get a tip from Charles Sydney before putting up their money. Bartles is well and 
as busy as ever. The sound of the fire bells always alarms him. The sudden 
death of Jack Halsted was a great shock to me ; he always seemed so strong and 
well and genial and cheerful."

John encloses a letter from Slemmons thanking him for a delightful book. 
As the Secretary had to secure the aid of Mrs. Slemmons to get facts concerning 
Emmet, he thinks this long letter worth recording. Slemmons writes: "The

want me to share your pleasure in reading it, but a flood of very tender memories 
of the dear days which are fast becoming for us ''j'j fellows the days of 'Auld

a distance through the forest of forty-two miles." But he made the trip, sent 
the photograph, and upon the Secretary remarking upon the change in his 
appearance, wrote : 

"Yours in regard to photo at hand. I overlooked the fact that after 
thirty-one years you might have some trouble in recognizing me. There must 
certainly be quite a change. Well Jai, mine has not been a very eventful life. 
After leaving College, I was rather overpersuaded to forego Blackstone for a 
mercantile life. I became general superintendent of mining and shipping of coal 
for one of the largest firms in Pittsburg. After serving in this capacity for eleven 
years, I became a stockholder and director in a new company which was organized 
out of the old firm and incorporated under a Pennsylvania State law. At the 
same time I became licensed under the U. S. Government to act as master of 
vessels navigating all inland waters of the United States. Our company then 
became absorbed by the River Coal Combine of Pittsburg. I then concluded to 
go into the lumber fields, and have followed same for the last fifteen vears. As 

44 



it is a very healthy as well as pleasant occupation, I expect to stick to it for a 
few years yet. I have never been married. I suppose this has been partly due 
to the unsettled life I have led, as I have been forced to travel a great deal during 
the impressionable period of my life, and now as I grow older the chances seem 
to be very remote. Kind regards for yourself and any of the boys whom you 
may meet."

The Senator is a great man, mentally and physically, and a visit to Prince-

aspires to be a poet, and by special request the following lines are inserted : 

J. A. C. 

When Nature would her masterpiece devise 

She was sore puzzled till she thought of Jai, 
But soon she found that in his ample size 

She could store every manly quality. 
And then to prove him favorite of heaven 

As he grew up she turned his jovial face 
To Princeton and the class of Seventy Seven, 

Where he has won and kept the leader's place. 
Till now the centre of the fellows' love 

He stands the all-round, wholesome, helpful man, 
While passing years but serve his right to prove 

And their endorsement stamp on Nature's plan. 
But he and I to such vast bulk have grown, 
That to converse we use the telephone.

Fairfield Osborn, is in the Junior class at Princeton (1909). Our younger 
daughter, Josephine, a girl of seventeen, is now completing her education in Paris. 
We had the sorrow of losing our third son, Gurdon Saltonstall, while an infant. 

Since 1877, the year of the first Rocky Mountain expedition, and 1880, 
when Dr. McCosh called me to a Biological Fellowship in Princeton, I have 
devoted my life to teaching, travel and exploration, original research, writing, 
and administration. I have been obliged to give a vast amount of time and energy 
to the last named function of administration, especially in developing the Depart- 
ment of Zoology at Columbia, which I was called to organize in 1891, the New 
York Zoological Park, of which, as chairman of the Executive Committee, I 
have been the head practically since 1896, and the American Museum of Natural 
History, as Curator, Trustee, Vice-President, and recently as President. It has 
been a great privilege to help along the growth and popularity of these large 
scientific institutions in New York and see them take finally a rank worthy of 
the great commercial metropolis. It happens that several well-known Prince- 
tonians (Messrs. John L. Cadwalader, Cleveland H. Dodge, Percy R. Pyne) have 
cooperated in the Museum and Park. Last year the combined attendance at the 
American Museum, the Zoological Park, and the Aquarium was over 4,000,000. 

In writing, all men feel Dr. McCosh's influence. My first book, "From 
the Greeks to Darwin", was dedicated to him, and the very last piece of literary 
work on which he was engaged was a review of this volume. Another feature 
of my writing has been the desire to popularize and spread science through the 
magazines. Two memoirs are under way for the U. S. Geological Survey series, 
namely, 'The Titanotheres' and 'The Sauropoda'. The former is almost complete ; 
the latter is still unwritten. 

While life at Columbia has been most delightful in association with Presi- 
dents Low and Butler and with a number of able and charming colleagues in 
the Department of Zoology, Princeton is constantly in my heart and thoughts, 
and I rejoice over the noble development which is following the lifelong work 
of that Prince of Princetonians, our classmate Pyne. 

Perhaps one of the greatest things our class has accomplished is that 
indirectly through the labors of Libbey, Scott, and myself, and our students, we 
have so directed the energies of the institution into the channels of zoology, 
comparative anatomy, palaeontology, geolog}^ and physical geography that it has 
at last come into the heart of that great friend of the institution, Cleveland H. 
Dodge '79, to secure the magnificent gift for the erection of the Hall of Biology 
and Geology. The class may be proud to know that 'yy men and their personal 
students were the originators of the lines of museum work, exploration, and 
research which, expanding constantly, have given Princeton a world wide prestige 
and have dignified these departments of study so that at last they are rewarded 
by being grouped together in a magnificent building.

"My life has been uneventful, s|)ent chiefly u])on a farm in the companion- 
ship of wife and six little girls, and 1 feel that 1 have had more than my share 
of blessings, both temporal and spiritual. 

Have never sought any position of honor or trust. Am, however, a 
Director of 1^-enton Warehouse Co., Church Steward, Trustee of Trenton High 
School. 

Was married Oct. 31, 1894, to Miss Minnie C. Smith, at Harmony Church, 
Edgefield Co., S. C. Children are: luilis, Dec. 15, 1895; Mary, May 30, 1897;

Have never had the pleasure of meeting a single one of my classmates 
since we ])artcd. Have seen several cDmplimenlary notices of lion. Walter 
Hazard in the newspapers." 

Henry Cooper Pitney, Junior 

"I am actively engaged in the practice of the law at the Bar of New 
Jersey. I have pursued a general practice and have argued some causes which 
are reported in the Law and Equity Reports of this State. 

Have been a consistent member of the National Republican party; have 
held no public or political offices worthy of mention; have been sufficiently 
engaged in various private trusts and services. 

My wife's maiden-name was Laura G. P. Wood. We were married on 
June 17, 1891, at Morristown. We are still living in wedded happiness. 

As to children or grand-children, I make no boast." 

George R. Van-Dusen ^'j'j has a daughter and a son, whom 1 regard with 
the partiality of a maternal uncle. 

Luther D. Wishard ''j'j, at Summit, N. J., is my nearest neighbor. When- 
ever I meet him, he is vigorously shaking a new rattle in some charity or 
]ihilanthropy. 

b'rank S]icir 'yj, in his sylvan retreat near South Orange, is my next 
neighbor. There he is the head of a charming family. A visit to him restores 
or renews the philosophic calm of senior year. 

Jotham Potter 

Previous issues of the 'jj Record have contained in some detail accounts 
of my life and work, ilriefly, after teaching several years at Lawrcnceville, and 
reading law, I entered upon a commercial life, which took me for two years to 
Japan and the Orient as manager of the interests of The lirush Electric Co. of 
Cleveland. Returning to Cleveland in 1884, T settled down to a business career 
in electrical manufacluring, in winch I am still actively engagetl as President of 
The Jandus l'21ectric Company.

I am a director of several corporations, a Trustee of the Cleveland Medical 
College, the Cleveland School of Arts, and the University for boys. But the po- 
sition which I have valued most highly and which gave me the greatest enjoyment 
has been the Presidency of the Princeton Alumni Association of Northern Ohio, 
in which I served for many years. 

My writings have been entirely fugitive, and I am sorry to say have been 
mostly limited to trade catalogues and technical articles in relation to electrical 
manufacturing. 

Married Dec. 29, 1881, in Cleveland, to Helen Carey. Our first child, Cary 
Potter, was born Aug. 18, 1883, in Japan, and died in infancy. Mildred Day 
Potter, our eldest daughter, is to be graduated from Vassar College in June and 
will complete her education in Europe. Sheldon Cary Potter, twenty years of 
age, is at Princeton in the Class of 1910, taking the academic course. Helen 
Henrietta Potter, twelve years old, completes the roll of children. 

Here's to 'jy fellowship and loyalty !" 

Hugh Pritchard 

Pritchard still resides in New York City, and is preaching the gospel; at 
least that is the general impression. The Secretary has been unable to secure 
any answer to repeated letters and has concluded that "Ephraim is joined to his 
idols," and per force is compelled to "let him alone" — for this time. 

M. Taylor Pyne 

"My home address is "Drumthwacket," Princeton, N. J. My office address 
might as well be omitted, as I am not engaged in business. I studied law and 
practiced for twelve years and then gave it up to look after various trusts. 

I have been Trustee of Princeton University for the past 23 years ; Chair- 
man of Princeton Township for the past nine years. I have not published any- 
thing. I have received the following degrees: B.A., Princeton University, 1877; 
M.A., Princeton University, 1880; LL.B., Columbia College, 1879, Honorary L. 
H. D., Columbia University, 1903. 

I married June 2, 1880, Margaretta Stockton at St. Michael's Church, 
Trenton, N. J. Children: Percy Rivington Pyne H, born June 23, 1881, educated 
at St. Paul's School, and B.A., Princeton, 1903; Robert Stockton Pyne, May 
1883, educated at Pompret School, Conn., died February, 1903; M. Taylor 
Pyne, Jr., born November 5, 1885, educated Pompret School, at present a 
Senior in Princeton University." 

The story of what Pyne has done for Princeton would fill several volumes. 
Great credit must of right be given to him by future historians of Princeton Uni- 
versity. He is public-spirited and displays deep interest in every movement tend- 
ing to the improvement of Princeton as a town. His fellow townsmen are most 
appreciative of him as a man and citizen.

Charles Remsen 

"I retired from the practice of medicine about fifteen years ago, and since 
then have been occupied in looking after the afifairs of my father's estate. 

Was married to LilHan L. Jones, June 9, 1886, at Grace Church, New York 
City. Have three children living. My son Charles died March 22, 1899. Have 
not seen any of the fellows except Andy McCosh and Momo Pyne occasionally." 

Jno. E. Richardson 

"I was engaged in the active practice of law at Murfreesboro from date of 
admission to the Bar of Tennessee to December i, 1904. There is nothing else 
of consequence in my "life and work" except an effort to train up in the way they 
should go a rather large family of children. Have sent one son to Princeton, a 
member of the Class of '05, and have devoted many hours in persuading other 
parents to do likewise. The number of students lately attending from Murfrees- 
boro shows that the Princeton spirit abounds in the old alumni hereabouts. 

I was appointed Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Tennessee by the 
Governor December i, 1904, to fill a vacancy; was elected to same office August, 
1906, for the balance of the term expiring in 19 10. Have been City Attorney 
for Murfreesboro ; attorney and counsel for Rutherford County ; Revenue Com- 
missioner for the County ; Director in First National Bank, Murfreesboro ; Trus- 
tee in local school boards; Chairman of Democratic County Convention, and of 
Democratic State Convention, 1904; President of Local Bar Association and Vice- 
President of State Bar Association ; member of official board of local church con- 
gregation ; am President of First National Bank, but chiefly and mainly have pur- 
sued the uneventful life of a general practitioner of law. 

Have written no books, and the 'articles' produced have been in the line 
of briefs and a few papers before the local Bar Association. Degrees received 
are A.B., and A.M., Princeton ; LL.B., Cumberland University. 

Was married to Miss Annie Lou McLemore, at Franklin, Tenn., May 18, 
1882. Have five living children: William M., '05, Princeton, aged twenty- four; 
Annie W.,, nineteen ; Albert S., seventeen ; Ida Lee, fourteen ; Louise, ten. 

The eldest prepared for College at the Webb School, Bell Buckle, Tenn., 
and, as already stated, graduated at Princeton in the Class of '05, where (I 
speak both joyfully and gratefully) he came in contact most pleasantly and profi- 
tably with a number of ''jy fellows, and he is now with the Crowell Publishing 
Co., New York City, in the advertising department of the Company's publications. 
The second is a graduate of Souls College, Murfreesboro. The third is himself 
teaching temporarily, having passed Princeton examinations in part, June, 1907, 
after preparation for College at the Mooney School, Murfreesboro. It is our 
intention that Albert shall enter Princeton next September. We have lost several 
children, three of them dying within eighteen months. 

I live very much in a state of separation from all of the fellows, and seldom 
have an item of interest from them except such as I gather from the Alumni 
Weekly and occasional visits to Princeton. Benedict, my Sophomore year room- 
mate, is a very successful man of affairs in Memphis."

"As usual, I am engaged in repairing, supplying repairs and putting in order 
or adjusting dilapidated organs, sewing machines and time-pieces, painting and 
photographing (i. e., views, landscapes, exteriors, interiors, groups, stock, etc. — 
no gallery). Am doing less, or rather, travelling less in the Winter now than I 
used to, because Jack Frost and I disagree on the matter of keeping my ears com- 
fortable — best frozen he insists, — No, says I. I think that he is rather med- 
dlesome. Could add here that since the death of my parents, I rent rooms in the 
city, serving as sleeping, office and living rooms, doing my own housework and 
my own cooking — daily reminders of my lot in college times. Happy? Well, I 
should say so ! No one now to growl at me when I attack the tempting contents 
of the sugar-bowl. 

I cannot at present think of or recall any fitting fillings for this part of the 
pie and could pass it by. It seems that there is^ a monopoly, a trust or a boycott, 
influencing unbiased minds on the subject. Of late, I had not much time for 
literary work, none published, except what are scattered in periodicals. In what 
time I have left, I read and brush up the old Duffield and dust-laden math., that 
now comes very convenient in new photo and telephoto studies, to which for some 
years I have devoted constantly as much time as I could spare. 

Not married. The answer to this and the two following sections follow 
suit, and must be dropped. 

VII. None to give. All as far as I know are too far away ever to come 
to see me or I them, so as to allow me to make any comments concerning them. 
Some very interesting reports of the Commencement of '07, etc., gave me lately 
more particulars about them than I had for four years, except the death announce- 
ments, which I keep together in a P. C. Album. Surely we are strangers by cir- 
cumstances, yet in my heart the remaining members of the class are always re- 
garded as my nearest friends and boon companions. Regards to all. It is hard 
sometimes to realize, though it is a fact, as one by one drop off, that we are getting 
old. We are soon — so soon — to follow those who have gone before us.

"Your communications in reference to '']'] Class Record received. I have 
been confined lo the house for the past couple of weeks with a severe attack of the 
grij), which has given me plenty of time to think about old times at Princeton. 
You know 1 have not been taking much interest in Princeton since I left. I have 
been busy keeping quiet and sawing wood. When I look back over our careers 
at Princeton, I don't feel proud of much. You know and we all know how things 
were done there. Many of our classmates rose to distinction through the use of 
the "Shenanigag." Some, I am informed, are or have been "professors" at 
Princeton University ; some stood high who were frcciuent visitors at professors' 
houses and who were encouraged and cultivated as probable or possible annexes 
to the family. One little devil told me that he would always ask the old man not 
to call him next day, and some even did worse. 

I have got along all right in the world. I am not married. I am not 
crazy. How are you on this subject? You have become a Jerseyman and they 
say the morals of Jerseymen are very bad on the female cjuestion, too nuich 
duplicity, but I still believe you true (o'wer nit). Now will you love me again? 
1 have unbosomed my whole career. 

I seldom see any of my old classmates, yet I live in a better land than any 
of them. We have better land, better living, and Gabriel is going to blow his 
horn right here." 

p. S. — Excuse this long letter; T would not have written it if I hadn't 
been sick." 

Glad to hear from William Heister. The letter has a familiar sound and 
no apology is needed, even if he tried one. Note the P. S.

and am President of the Buckhorn Springs Water Company, and Vice-President

in a business way, in mining, farming and timber lands, and, I must not forget to 
say that I am trustee in the First Presbyterian Church of P.clvidcre, N. J., and

I was married to Mary Winter White the 15th day of August, 1891, at 
her home at Belvidere, N. J., and have one child, Joseph White Roseberry, born 
the 29th day of April, 1897. He is attending a private school, and I expect to 
send him to Princeton University later on. 

I have been busy and unable to ascertain much about my classmates, not 
so much as I would like to know. 

I had the pleasure, a week ago, of cross-examining Prof. Cornwall of 
Princeton University, as an expert on water analysis, and his expert opponent 
is Prof. Alvin Davison, professor of biology in Lafayette College. I believe he 
took the biological fellowship at Princeton in 1897, and is thus connected with 
the class of 1877. He is an able man in his department."

camera fiend within a few days and send you the result. In the meantime here 
are answers to your questions : 

My home is in West Falls Church, Fairfax County, Virginia. My office 
address is, Board of Pension Appeals, Interior Department, Washington, D. C. 
Am occupying the same position as when the former Record was issued. My 
wife died July 7, 1900, and I have not remarried. My oldest daughter was

other four children are at home. My youngest girl is attending the Washington

"Sam" is pastor of a successful church in Clinton, N. J., and the only 
fault that can be found with him is his failure to join his classmates at their 
Reunions. He states modestly that "the facts called for are all in the former 
issues of the Record. A few words to the effect that I am not altogether reprobate 
will do." 

The record of his church in the Minutes of the General Assembly are most 
creditable to him.

I can hardly say that I have filled any special positions of either honor or 
trust. Certainly have held neither public nor political office since I resigned as 
Assistant City Solicitor early in 1884. Outside of my professional work, I have 
for about ten years j^ast been a Director of the Centennial National Bank of 
Philadelphia and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Polyclinic Hospital, 
of which Board I was President from 1901 to 1907. I found the work of the 
hospital occupying so much of my time that I was obliged to ask to be relieved, 
which the Board finally did on my |)romise to continue to hold my place as a 
Trustee. They gave me, however, a very kind scnd-f^ff and some engrossed 
resolutions, which are very pleasant to have. 

I was married July 17, 1884, at Chestnut Hill, Pliila.. to Mary I.anc Landis 
who is still spared to me. 

I have one son, J. F. Reynolds Scott, born 1885, who, after aitendinj"^ 
Preparatory School here, graduated at Mercersburg Academy and also was a 
year at Sedgwick Institute, Great Barrington, Mass. He entered Princeton in 
the class of 1908, but is now studying law in the Law School of the University 
of Pennsylvania. 

]"or almost twenty years past Van Dusen and I have had our offices 
together, and, of course, I have seen more of him than any of the other fellows. 
It has been very pleasant to continue this old-time association, even if he and I 
don't lo(jk upon Princeton oi lo-day through the same s]jectacles." 

Jai has been of great assistance to the vSecretary in keeping him informed 
regarding the movements of any of the fellows. May his example be followed 
by others.

Spencc's vSchool in New York ('ity and is living at home, a companion to both 
parents. My son, Robert h"., graduated from Davidson ("olk^ge, N. C., Class ol

Walter Lloyd Smith 

"My home and (^Hice address is I'Jnu'ra, N. Y. In 1888 I was appointed by 
Governor Jlill to the office of Justice of the Su])reme (.'ourf, to succeed my father, 
who had resignerl on account of ill heallli. In tlu; hall of i88<-! 1 was elected t(j

Court in the hourlh Department, and thereafter at my re'|uesl the designation 
was changed to the Thirfl De])artment. After my re-election in 1902 I was again 
designated by Covernor Odell to the Third Department A];pella1e Division, and 
in Kjoy was by (J(jvernoi- llnglies niafk; Presiding Justice of that Dei)artment, 

57 



which position I now hold. In June, 1907, received the degree of LL.D. from 
Alfred University. 

Was married to Miss Jessie Gonzales at London, England, July 19, 1893. 
I have had three children, — Wilton, born May 24, 1894; Boardman, born Sept. 4, 
1895, and Parker, born July 10, 1902. Boardman died April 28, 1904. 

None of my Class lives near me, and so I have no news of any which 
most do not know." 

"A fine man and a fine Judge," is the way a distinguished Jurist spoke 
of Wal and his work. 



W. Merle Smith 

"Billy" has one of the large and influential churches in New York City, 
with all that implies in the way of absorbing time and energy. Hence his replies 
are brief. He is a loyal Princetonian, however, and is always at the Class 
gatherings unless something of importance stands in the way. 

"My home address is 29 West 54th Street. Am Pastor of the Central 
Presbyterian Church. Received the degree of D.D. from Princeton in 1889. 
Was married Nov. 19, 1885, to Miss Zaidee Van Santvoord. Have three chil- 
dren, — Dorothy Merle, born Sept. 16, 1887; V'^" Santvoord Merle, born June 22, 
1889, now a Freshman in Princeton, and Anita Merle, born June 3, 1891." 

Billie's boy takes after his father in his love for athletics, being on the 
'Varsity football team. 



Francis Speir 

"Yourself." 

1. My home address is 276 Ridgewood Road, South Orange, New 
Jersey. My office address is 52 Wall Street, New York City. 

2. I am actively engaged in my profession as a lawyer and have been so 
engaged since I was admitted to the bar in 1880. My work is chiefly in office 
practice, to which I have devoted my time and energy. 

3. I have filled no positions of honor or trust, public or political, except 
in so far as I was called on to do in municipal affairs. I have written a few 
articles for magazines and reviews, but no books. 

"Wife." 

4. I was married May 17, 1888, to Agnes Edwards Forbes of Brooklyn, 
New York, at Brooklyn. My wife is living. 

"Children." 

5. I have four children, viz. :

7. I frequently see classmates who are living in and about New York

at my office. Our New York delegation has suffered greatly from the loss of 
Dunning, Lynde and Parker, whom, for many years, I saw almost every day. 
"Photograph." 

8. I enclose photograph, just taken. I hope the other members of the 
class will not try to work off on you their photographs taken at graduation or 
those fifteen or twenty years old. Mine was taken in October, a month before 
I became fifty-one." 

Frank is a splendid fellow and ranks high in the legal profession. The 
Secretary never misses an opportunity to call at his office, have a chat and go on 
his way rejoicing, 

Carl L. Spethmann 

"My home address is 20 Lawn Ridge Road, Orange, N. J. Business 
address, Newark Academy, Newark, N. J. I am teaching in Newark Academy. 
Formerly I taught German, French and Mathematics, but since the number of 
students has increased, I have been teaching German only. 

I was married in Shamokin, Pa., June 26, 1884, to Miss Eleanor W. 
Houston. We have an adopted daughter named Elizabeth, born Sept. 26, 1900." 

R. A. Springs 

"I reside in New York City, and my office address is No. ^6 Cotton 
Exchange Building, New York City. 

Practiced law in New York City until the year 1898, when I engaged in 
the general commission business of buying and selling stocks, cotton, coffee, and 
grain, and am now engaged in that business. 

I have held no positions of honor or trust other than director in banks, 
and as a member of the Board of Managers of the New York Cotton Exchange 
for several years. 

Was married in the City of Boston on the 20th of December, 1899. My 
wife's maiden name was Emma Schmitt. 

I occasionally see members of the Class around New York, but I assume 
that they have given all necessary information about themselves for the Record. 

I received a letter some months ago from F. A. Leavenworth, who is 
residing in Rochester, New York, and I judge from his letter that he is in very 

59 



bad health. I hear occasionally from R. W. Walker, who is practicing law in 
Huntsville, Alabama, and I also exchange letters with F. W. Hughes, who is 
practicing medicine in New Bern, N. C. Both of these classmates are prominent 
and influential citizens in their resepctive states. I have not heard from Walter 
Hazard, but I understand he is still located at Georgetown, S. C." 

C. E. Stevens 

"Stevie" was not well when he wrote for the Record, but all the fellows 
who met him at the Reunion will be able to supplement the report. 

"Home address, The Elmwood, Readfield, Me. Hotel business, — open all 
the year. Married Sarah L. Gerden, Nov. 28, 1895 5 have no children. Have not 
seen any of the boys since our 30th, the greatest of all." 

S. E. Taylor 

"I think you must be a good old-fashioned Calvinist, at least you must 
believe in the perseverance of the saints. I don't know about your saintliness, 
but you have the perseverance all right. 

Now I'll tell you, Campbell, I do not want my likeness in the Record, and 
as to my life, I have just lived along one of those common every-day lives that 
has nothing in it worth mentioning to outsiders. 

I have been on this field ten years and am just about leaving for Colo., 
in which state I worked in the early years of my ministry. I do not now know 
what my permanent address will be, but temporarily I will receive anything sent 
to Harris, Colo., P. O. box 7. 

Wishing you all the good of this, life and the better things of the life to 
come, I remain yours in Christian life and work." 

Henry B. Thompson 

"My home address is 'Brookwood Farm', Greenville P. O., Delaware. 
Office address, care of Joseph Bancroft & Sons Company, Wilmington, Del. 

I am actively engaged in business, as Treasurer of the above company, 
cotton manufacturers, bleachers and dyers. I have been virtually engaged in the 
same business ever since I left Princeton, that is, trying to make some money 
out of cotton. 

As to positions of trust, — I am trusted by some people. 

I have dabbled a bit in politics, having been Chairman of the Republican 
State Committee of Delaware, 1902-1904, and represented the State of Delaware 
on the Republican National Committee, 1898-1900. 

The only offices that I fill at present are : 

Jury Commissioner for New Castle County, State of Delaware ; 

Senior Warden, Trinity Parish (Old Swedes' Church), Wilmington, Del.; 

President of the Wilmington Y. M. C. A. ; 

60 



Life Trustee, Princeton University ; 

Director of some companies. 

I have written no books ; but I did considerable newspaper work during the 
time that I was in poHtics, in the shape of editorials, inspired articles, etc. 

I was married to Mary Wilson, April 14, 1891, at 'Stockford', near Wil- 
mington, Delaware. 

Children : 

Mary Thompson, born February 11, 1892; Farmington School, Connecticut. 

Katharine Thompson, born February 23, 1893; Misses Hebb's School, 
Wilmington, Delaware. 

Charles Thompson, born November 24, 1894; died in infancy. 

Henry Burling Thompson, born July 27, 1897; Friends' School, Wilming- 
ton, Delaware. 

Margaret Thompson, born October 15, 1898; died January 22, 1899. 

Elinor Thompson, born August 18, 1901. 

James H. W. Thompson, born March 21, 1906. 

I naturally see a great deal of 'Momo' Pyne, especially since I have been 
on the Board of Trustees. This also brings me in close touch with Jacobus ; and, 
I must say, that, although Jake is a theologian, he is gifted with a large fund of 
common sense, and impresses us all as one of the strong members of the Board. 

It goes without saying that we must all keep in touch with our Class 
Secretary. We won't permit it to be otherwise. 

As years roll on, the feeling grows stronger with me that the Class of '']"] 
is the best Class ever turned out of Princeton." 

Harry is one of the most efficient Trustees, and you can rarely go to 
Princeton and not find him hard at work. He vows he must stop it and attend 
to his own business, but his heart is in the work and no one need fear he will not 
be on the spot when his services are needed. 

George R. Van Dusen 

1. Home address, 240 West Evergreen Avenue, Chestnut Flill, Phila- 
delphia; office address, 1012 Stephen Girard Building, Philadelphia. 

2. Actively engaged in practice of law. 

3. Many years ago wrote several articles on legal subjects, which were 
published in magazines and in the American and English Encyclopedia of Law. 

4. Katharine J. Pitney; October 29, 1891 ; Morristown, New Jersey. 

5. Katharine P. Van Dusen; November 20, 1894.

"Van" is a close second to Jai Scott in keeping his ear to the ground and 
sending the Secretary advance information regarding his classmates. Fie is the 
same fine fellow we have always known.

R. W Walker 

"My home and office address is lluntsville, Ala. 

Am still practicing law. 

1 have been Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, Member of the 
Alabama Constitutional Convention of 1901, and closed my public life as a 
member of the Alabama Legislature. 

Was married at lluntsville, Ala., June 22, 1886, to Sarah Shelby White. 

It has been a long time since I have seen the face of any '']'] man except 
Glass. I manage to see him several times a year. Our little reunions are pleasant 
occasions for at least one of the participants." 

John H. Westcott 

"My address is 200 Mercer St., Princeton, N. J. Am still in position 
indicated in College Catalogue. Member of School Board of Borough of Prince- 
ton 1906-1909. Have written edition of Caesar's Gallic War, 20th Century Series, 
Appleton, N. Y., in addition to other books previously reported. My wife died 
Sept. 6, 1905. Have three children, a boy and two girls. John Howell Westcott, 
Jr., is at Iloosac School, N. Y." 

John sent a proof of a photograph, which faded away before it could be 
used. He then sent a photo of a much younger man, remarking with his usual 
innocence, "Peoi)le say I look just the same." He was married March 25, 1908, 
to Miss Marian Bate. 



F. H. Wigton 

"My home address is School Lane, Germantown, Phila., Pa. ; business 
address, Broad and Chestnut Sts., Phila. 

Am actively engaged in business, in the mining and shipping of bituminous 
coal. Was married Oct. 31, 1888, to Miss Mary Louise Wilson. Have two 
children, both boys." 

The Secretary had the pleasure of meeting Frank and his wife in Princeton 
June, 1908, making preparations to enter their son in old Princeton. 

G. L. Wiley 

"My address is New York Life Insurance Co., 346 Broadway; my home 
is in East Orange, N. J. Am a clerk in the New York Life Insurance Co. Re- 
ceived no degrees, except A.M. in course. Am unmarried." 

Could not obtain George's picture. Says, "I have not had one taken in over 
thirty years." Evidently afraid to face the camera.

We have two children, both boys, to wit : George F. Williamson, age 
ten, and Ralph Elmore Williamson, age six. 

The Secretary can testify that "Billy" has an interesting and attractive fam- 
ily, and deserves all the success he has achieved. 



Luther D. Wishard 

Myself: 

1. My home address is 175 South Mountain Avenue, Montclair, N. J. 
My office address is Metropolitan Life Building, Madison Square, New York City. 

2. I am actively engaged in business and expect to be for some years to 
come. After having devoted twenty-five years to philanthropic enterprises such 
as have been pretty fully described in previous records, I entered business a few 
weeks before my fiftieth birthday and since that time have had a most interesting 
and profitable career. I had the good fortune to form connections with several 
the most prominent business men in Western Canada, and to take advantage with 
them of the extraordinary opportunities offered for investment in that rising 
young empire. Have been handling farm lands upon a pretty large scale as 
well as timber lands, and am just now taking a dive into a coal mine, I am 
President of Wishard Securities Company, also of the Western Canada Wheat 
Land Co., Ltd., and an officer and director in several other timber companies. 
The base of operations in the wheat lands is chiefly in the great Province of Sas- 
katchewan, for timber and coal on the Island of Vancouver and on the coast of 
the mainland. The opportunities ahead of us are simply phenomenal, and I have 
every reason to believe that after a year or two more of pretty strenuous work, I 
shall be able to retire largely from active business and give a great deal of attention 
again to the old lines of philanthropic work which I followed for so many years 
and with which I am still in the closest touch in an advisory way. Nothing can 
ever take the first place in my heart which is still held by the Intercollegiate 
Young Men's Christian Association Movement. 

3. The most important position of trust that I have ever held I have 
just alluded to, viz: pioneer and director for twenty years of the Christian move- 
ment among the universities of this country, Europe, Asia and Africa. In connec- 
tion with this movement I have published two books, one entitled "A New Pro- 
gram of Missions" issued 1895, the other "Students' Challenge to the Churches," 



issued in 1899. I also founded and conducted for several years the IntercoUe- 

gian, the organ of the Students' Movement. 

IVifc: 

4. My wife's maiden name v^as Eva Fancher and we were married July 
22, 1884. 

Children: 

5. Jean, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, March i8th, 1896, died May 3rd, 

1896. 

Janet, born in Montclair, N. J., January 8th, 1898. 

Winifred, born in Montclair, N. J., February 9th, 1900. 

Margaret, born at Silver Bay on Lake George, N. Y., July 16, 1901. 

Donald Fancher, born in Montclair, N. J., July 19th, 1903, died Septem- 
ber ist, 1903." 

Ira W. Wood 

"First: My home and office address is Trenton, New Jersey. 

Second : I have been a member of the Board of Education and the Com- 
mon Council of the City of Trenton; was president of the Board of Trade of 
Trenton ; was elected to the New Jersey Legislature as a Member of Assembly in 
1899 and 1900; was appointed by Governor Murphy a Commissioner for New Jer- 
sey to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition; was elected to the Fifty-eighth Con- 
gress to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of Hon. William M. Lanning 
as District Judge for the District of New Jersey, vice Hon. Andrew Kirkpatrick, 
deceased; and was re-elected to the Fifty-ninth and the Sixtieth Congresses." 

Wood makes a valued member of Congress, and if he continues to look 
after the interests of his constituents as heretofore, he will probably be elected 
for life. 

Jacob R. Wyckoff 

"My home address is Dutch Neck, Princeton Junction, N. J. Am still 
engaged in hay, straw, grain and fertilizer business. Was a member of New 
Jersey Assembly. Married to Miss Nannie S. Forman, Oct. 24, 1878. Have two

Daniel S. Bratton 

Mr. Howard Bratton, a brother, kindly gives the history of Dan's children, 
both father and mother being dead. 

"Susan E. is living at the Bratton Hometstead in Elkton, Maryland, with 
her aunts. Katharine Mitchell is Professor of Mathematics in Cecil County High 
School, Elkton, Md. Daniel will enter the Dental Department of University of 
Maryland in October 1908. Mary Ann is a student in the State Normal School 
at Baltimore preparing to teach." 

Samuel H. Bratton 

No information can be obtined of Sam's children. His relatives cannot 
give any data regarding them. 

William C. Campbell 

Mrs. Campbell, now living at Montclair, N. J., in answer to request for in- 
formation of Billie's children, states : "Williamina was born July 27, 1899, and her 
full name is Williamina Cunningham Campbell, as she was named for her father. 
All three of the children, Margaret, John and Williamina are attending the 
Montclair Public School." 

William F. Dunning 

Mrs. Dunning is living at Locust Grove Farm, Warwick, N. Y., and from 
her letter we quote: 

"Ruth Seely was a Diploma Graduate, 1905, of Miss Spence School. Mar- 
celine Randolph was for two years at Gage School, and took a special course, 
1907, at Miss Spence School. Clara Frost was two years at Gage School, four 
years at Miss Spence, finishing at the Misses Masters, 1909. Isabella Fowler was 
two years at Gage School, three years at Miss Spence, finishing at the Misses 
Masters, 1910. Elizabeth Belcher was two years at Gage School, one year at 
Miss Spence, entering the Misses Masters in October 1908. Wilhelmine (Billu- 
Jr.) is at home, too young for school." 

John R. Franklin 

We are indebted to Mrs. Franklin for the following: 

"My late husband, John R. Franklin, died March 2, 1907. Our eldest 
child, Anna Duffield, was born Sept. 5, 1878, and was married to Carson W. 
Harris, Jan. 8, 1903. Our second daughter, Kate Gray, is at home with her 
mother." 

Rollin H. Lynde 

Mrs. Lynde writes: 

"My only son, Charles Rollin Lynde, is now in the Holy Land on a trip 

67 



around the world. My two daughters are at home with me at 54 East 54th 
St., New York. Roll was very devoted to his class, and particularly to the little 
coterie of friends in and about New York and Princeton. There have been 
many breaks in the ranks of the class recently, Dr. McCosh the last. But what 
honored names!" 

W. M. Meredith 

Mrs. Meredith, who is now residing in Princeton, in order to be with 
her son during his University course, writes : "William Morris Meredith, Jr., 
is in the Class of 191 1, Princeton University, and reports indicate that he is 
doing good work. He is Secretary of the St. Paul Society of the Episcopal 
Church in Princeton." 

Mrs. Meredith kindly remembered us at the Reunion and sent some beauti- 
ful flowers, which the fellows wore at the Yale game. 

S. H. McGiU 

Benjamin Thayer McGill, the only child of our late classmate, is a 
Freshman in Williams College. His home is in Englewood, N. J. "I shall al- 
ways regret that I did not go to Princeton as was my intention, but after passing 
the preliminary examinations, I found I was not sufficiently prepared to take 
the final examination." 

D. F. McPherson 

From our highly esteemed college mate. Rev. S. J. McPherson, D.D., '74, 
now Headmaster of Lawrenceville School, we learn that : 

"Donald Frazer McPherson, my brother's son, was graduated, as you doubt- 
Jess know, from Princeton in 1906. He was a member of the Senior Council, and 
was also a member of the Inter-Club Committee. The two intervening years he 
spent in Harvard Law School, where all accounts show that he did admirable 
work. This year he has gone to Chicago, and entered the services of the law 
firm of Holt, Wheeler & Sibley, Lawyers, of the Tacoma Building, Chicago. The 
head of that firm is my brother-in-law. He is to do office work and attend the 
Northwestern Law School during the current year." 

Francis Eyre Parker 

In answer to an inquiry from the Secretary, Mrs. Parker wrote in June 
1907: "I am engaged in erecting a small Home for Incurables in memory of my 
dear husband. A home of that kind is much needed in this section of the state. 
The doors will be open to applicants for beds from any of the neighboring towns, 
and should Princeton have needy patients who are incurable, they will be very

welcome to the Francis Parker Memorial." The Secretary gladly accepted an in- 
vitation to the opening exercises and in company with Van Dusen inspected the 
building. The Home is complete in all its appointments, and is a splendid and wor- 
thy memorial of our beloved classmate. Frank left four children, all of whom are 
living with their mother in New Brunswick. 

William Pittenger 

(Extract from letter from Mrs. Pittenger.) 

"You might like to know something of my children as they are now. Anna 
is married and lives at Fall Brook for the present. Fred is in the Alberta Country 
in Canada. Walter is a student at Stamford and expects to make law his profes- 
sion. Mary is married to a country editor, a very brilliant man. Emma is a 
trained nurse in Los Angeles, so I am without any children at home at present, 
but I have a cosy, pleasant home out here in the midst of oranges and flowers of 
every variety." 

W. S. Throckmorton 

Billie's oldest boy gives the following information : 

"Your communication of Sept. 29th to my mother has been forwarded to 
me for a reply. 

The writer, Aaron Rhea Throckmorton, was born June i, 1881, and is a 
Mechanical Engineer. At present I am an invalid and not in business. 

Willard Porter Throckmorton, born Dec. 29, 1882, is a law student with A. 
C. Hartshorne, at Freehold, N. J., and he is also a clerk for the Monmouth 
County Board of Taxation. 

Harold Hartshorne Throckmorton, born April 5, 1885, is a druggist at Phil- 
brick's Pharmacy, Belmar, N. J. I think he studied at the College of Phar- 
macy in Philadelphia. 

John Ellis Throckmorton, born May 3, 1887, is a student at the University 
of Pennsylvania, 1910, and expects to read law." 

Prescott B. Vail 

Mrs. Vail writes concerning her daughter, Margaret Prescott : "She was 
born on Christmas, 1893. At the age of fifteen years, she is a tall, strong girl, 
with a good, wholesome mind. She shows considerable character for her years, 
and she is also developing self-reliance. Previous to last year, she had four 
years in the public schools of Mt. Vernon, and would have graduated at the age 
of sixteen and a half if she had remained. Since then she has been at a 
boarding school at Poughkeepsie. Margaret inherits her father's love of study 
and books. I have no definite plans for her future, but I asume it will be along 
educational lines."

The Thirtieth Reunion 

The Reunion Committee planned great things for the Thirtieth Anniver- 
sary, notwithstanding a feeUng of great sadness overcame us as we contemplated 
the loss of some of our best men, including two members of the Committee, Lynde 
and Dunning. We could not but feel that owing to our sorrow the numbers in 
attendance at the Reunion might be lessened, but our fears were not realized, for 
the fellows seemed to feel that as we grew less in number, the bond between the 
living became all the stronger and the desire to see each other the more keen. 

The two Goldie houses, our headquarters, were opened on Friday, June 7, 
1907, and twenty-eight of the fellows registered that day. On Saturday more of 
the fellows arrived, and when Jennings Bond headed the procession in the after- 
noon, forty-eight marched to the Ball Field. We had our '■]•] Banner carried by 
Frank Wigton in his best style, and each of the fellows had a Princeton flag. Un- 
fortunately the hat bands ordered from Europe did not arrive in time. Roses, 
the gift of Mrs. Meredith, wife of our late classmate, were worn by each one of 
the fellows. Pyne, as usual, presented the Class Pins, and they were voted per- 
fect. 

One of the largest crowds that ever attended a baseball game gathered at 
the 'Varsity Field ; the game was close and exciting and we won, and with it the 
championship, so a jolly and happy crowd left the field. 

Our return to headquarters was made by the way of Prospect Street, in 
order to pay a tribute to Mrs. McCosh. As the band played Old Lang Syne, Mrs. 
McCosh came to the entrance of her home and indicated her desire to meet the 
fellows. An informal reception was held, and she greeted every one most cor- 
dially and happily. She made a beautiful and touching picture, standing in the 
arched doorway and bearing her ninety years with grace and dignity, and exhib- 
iting the most kindly interest in each member of the Class, many of whom she 
called by name. 

The evening was spent informally at headquarters or on the Campus, lis- 
tening to the singing or in visiting headquarters of other classes holding Reunions. 

SUNDAY, JUNE 9 

THE MEMORIAL SERVICE 

Many of the fellows attended the exercises in Alexander Hall in the morn- 
ing and listened to the Baccalaureate address. Others remained at headquarters 

70 



and joined in experience meetings of various kinds. At 4 p. m. the fellows wended 
their way slowly to Dodge Plall, the Y. M. C. A. Building, and listened to an 
address by Jacobus in memory of our classmates who had died since 1897.

Among those present outside the members of the Class were Mrs. Meredith 
and Mrs. Lynde. The services were impressive and the remarks deeply touched 
the fellows, for they were of a character to find a response in every heart. After 
prayer and reading of the 90th Psalm, Jacobus spoke as follows : 

MEMORIAL ADDRESS 
Baccalaureate Sunday, June 9, 1907 

When we came back for our first reunions it was to talk over the old col- 
lege days and to look ahead into the great world in which we were making our 
struggle and doing our work. But the years have gone — more quickly than we 
ever thought they would — and now we come back with the gray in our hair and 
a little less spring in our step and red in our cheek, but with our hearts still warm 
with the old friendship. We come back now to talk over the old days just as we 
always will, but not so much to look ahead into our struggle and our work, but 
rather to look back upon them and cast up their results. 

That is the way with men always and everywhere as they grow out of boy- 
hood into manhood and stand face to face with the youth of old age. These gath- 
erings of the quarter century and the thirty years are just as natural as those of 
the first year, and the third year and the fifth. We are just as true to life now as 
we were then, and we know it far better and appreciate it more. 

And that is why we gather in the quiet of such a service, this afternoon. 

I looked the other day on the Freshman picture taken on the Hall steps 
over yonder four and thirty years ago, and then on the Senior picture taken from 
the same place four years later. 

There were changes there. Some who were with us in Freshman year had 
dropped out from the walks of study and were already hard at work in the busy 
world. Some who were not with us at the beginning had come into the class at 
the end and were one with the rest of us ; and the boyishness had gone out of all 

71 



the faces and the consciousness of knowledge — knowledge of self, at least — had 
taken its place. 

But look at the picture which will be taken tomorrow and see the changes 
there. The knowledge has deepened — knowledge of the world and its eternal 
fight, and knowledge of self with its victories and defeats; but how the ranks have 
thinned ! It is to talk about this that we are here this afternoon. We may not 
care to talk about the world as we have struggled with it, and still less perhaps 
about ourselves as we have gone through the struggle ; but we can talk about the 
fellows with whom the struggle is over and through, for we know the good that 
was in them and we want just simply to say it out and let it be known. 

I wish there were time to speak about all who have gone from us in these 
thirty years. We started at matriculation with 150 names. Some 38 dropped 
out during the four years' course, leaving us 112 at graduation, and 37 have died 
since we became a class. This leaves, I think, about 76 on our roll today. But 
there is time only to say a word about those who have fallen by the way since five 
years ago. Their names have come in rapidly. In 1903 two died, Annin and 
Brown. In 1904 three passed away, Pittenger, Power and Parker. In 1905 
one left us, Armstrong. In 1906 three, Anderson, Meredith and Woolman; and 
in the first four months of the present year four have left our ranks. Dunning, 
Franklin, Halsted and Lynde. 

Of these there were four who perhaps were not so well held in our memo- 
ries as the others, Armstrong, Franklin, Pittenger, and Power. 

Franklin was with us only in Freshman year, and Pittenger too only for 
one year while he held the pastorate of the Methodist Church in this town, and 
all four somehow or other dropped out of our sight in these thirty fateful years. 
Franklin was engaged in business in Philadelphia and then in Baltimore. Pit- 
tenger preached his message of the gospel in New Jersey first, and then at last 
on the Pacific coast. Power was a physician at McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and 
Armstrong, originally admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania, drifted westward 
through Colorado to California where he finally settled into official connection 
with the electrical business in the city of San Francisco. These all did their work 
bravely and well, with little notice from the world, perhaps, and little knowledge 
of them even from ourselves, their brothers, whom they loved for the sake of the 
dear old class. 

There was another group whom we better knew in college and with whom 
we had kept more in contact during these years : Anderson, Brown, Halsted, Mere- 
dith, Parker and Woolman. They all of them gathered success from their work, 
Anderson in banking, coming early to the cashier's responsibility in the Vineland 
National Bank and finally establishing a brokerage business for himself; the rest 
in the profession of the law, Brown and Meredith coming into politics — Brown 
reaching an honorable position in connection with the municipal government of 
the City of New York and retaining it through successive administrations until he 
relinquished its burdens for private practice again; and Meredith coming to a 
place of large influence in the great reform movement against political corruption 



72 



in the city of Philadelphia. At the time of his death he had been engaged for 
more than a year in arranging to prosecute the grafters of that much misruled 
municipality. Everything had been given into his charge, and he had worked as 
only one can work who has high honor as his ideal and has pledged great talents 
to its working out. His loss was irreparable to the cause, and it is doubtful if his 
place can be filled. 

There was a man of Princeton's best production and of Seventy-seven's 
truest spirit, going on the way of hard and tireless work, but with something 
more than mere success for his ambition, and winning, as such men ever do, the 
respect and honor, the confidence and dependence of those who labor to right the 
wrongs that fatten themselves on the greed of evil times. 

Halsted, Parker and Woolman kept simply to the law, Halsted and Parker 
making a success of it, modestly as was their wont ; Woolman also making of it a 
success, but only at the end, after he had gone down the hill and given up for a 
while till he could come back to show the manhood that was really in him. 

Fellows, of the memory of such a man today we have only good to say. All 
of us have had to fight for our souls as well as for our living. God knows how 
true this is. But God knows, too, that many of us have not fallen by the way 
simply because we never had temptations that swept over us the hot breath of 
passion and withered up our wills, but some of us have been in the fire and have 
been consumed, and we know what it means from out the ashes of such experience 
to rise again and live the man. Such resurrection is always possible, if God is 
true to His word ; but no greater honor can we give to-day to the names of these 
dear classmates of ours who fought the fight than to the name of such an one as 
this, our brother, who fell and, God helping him, man that he was, rose again and 
went on. 

The last few names on the list are of men we knew perhaps best of all, and 
loved them well because we knew them well; Lynde, Dunning and Annin, good, 
noble, loyal men. No men are missed more today than just these. Never a gath- 
ering of the old class but they were here, and never a gathering but they were here 
with all their hearts. 

There is no need that I speak of their professional lives and the success — 
in many ways brilliant success — that attended them. It is the men themselves, 
with their deeper qualities, we want to call to mind in these last moments. Lynde 
with that lovableness of nature that was unique with him ; ready always to do any- 
thing for any one; giving himself up to his fullest power just to help the other fel- 
low. I do not suppose any of us know how much time and strength and personal 
means he put into our reunions to make them a happy time for us all, and none 
of us knew so well as those who have experienced it how willing he was to be of 
service to men of the class whenever he could be. 

And Dunning, with his great enthusiasm and loyalty to everything that 
was Princeton and Seventy-seven, with every man in the class his friend and 
himself a friend of every one, conscious that there was nothing better of fellow- 



73 



ship and friendship than what was found within this dear old circle, and so giving 
himself to it all and claiming it all for himself. 

And last of all, Annin with all his wit, incisive but never bitter, and all his 
keen intuitive knowledge of human nature which made it possible for him to un- 
cover the faults and foibles of us all, but never to expose them to scorn, and all 
his ready flow of speech that was poured out for us but never poured down upon 
us. We know how he came here five years ago for his last time with the class. 
He knew his years were numbered. He knew to come this long journey into this 
unkindly climate was to shorten those still left him; yet he came — would have 
come had he never got back to his home. Not in all his long record of brilliant 
presidings at our banquets did he ever preside so well as he did that last time ; and 
when the dinner was over and we got back to the house, he gathered us all together 
and drew us out into one of the best heart talks that ever was, and then at its end 
bade us all good-bye. 

Fellows all, there are left a few more years to the rest of us, just a few, but 
for every one of us it is possible to make them years of the best manhood that we 
have, the kind of manhood that we have seen in these dear fellows who have gone, 
the kind of manhood God sees is in ourselves and to bring which out He stands 
pledged to us with all His power and all His love. 

Whether we will all be here five years hence, we do not know ; but when 
we gather together there will be in this room another meeting like this, and men 
will speak of us just as kindly and just as lovingly as we have spoken of our 
brothers today. 

After a brief prayer and benediction the services came to a close. It was 
unanimously agreed that the "Memorial Service" should have a permanent place in 
our future reunions. 



MONDAY 

A letter was received by the Secretary on May 23rd, from Mr. John Larkin, 
Chairman of '82 Reunion Committee, and it is herewith appended : 

Dear Sir: 

Has your Class the courage to accept the defi of '82 for a baseball game for 
Monday morning, June loth, next? The event has been advertised. I hope ''j'] 
will not crawl but that it will take unto itself enough Dutch courage to appear. 
This is written to you at the request of Jacobus. 

Yours truly, 

John Larkin, 

Chairman '82 Reunion. 
To 

John Alexander Campbell, 
Trenton, N. J.

> ? 




To this communication from the kindergartens of '82, the Secretary repHed 
that there would be no trouble about nerve or Dutch courage, but we could not 
definitely decide the question until Commencement Week, as we were not certain 
they were in our class. On Sunday evening, Prof. Hibben, '82, called at headquar- 
ters and arrangements were made for a game at 2 p. m. Monday. On Monday 
representatives of '82 called and concluded it was best to call the game off, as 
both classes had receptions to attend and we would be "warm and dusty" if we 
played baseball. We, however, took no chances, as like Finnegan, this might be a 
game of "off again and on again", and so '"jj took the field at two o'clock with 
Libbey as Umpire. The game was called, and no '82 men appearing, it was for- 
feited 9 to o. We then formed two nines and played several innings. The work 
of Jai Scott as pitcher, Jim Denny on first base and Charley Evans on second 
base was remarkable by way of contrast. At the end of the third inning all went 
to headquarters for repairs. 



RECEPTION BY PROF. AND MRS. LIBBEY 

On Monday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock the beautiful and commodious house 
of Prof, and Mrs. Libbey was thrown open to the Class and their families, and 
a reception tendered by host and hostess. The occasion was a most delightful 
one, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in attendance. Photographs were taken 
of the entire company, of the members of the Class present (including Prof. 
Brackett), and of the children of ''jy, and of the three short stops. It was an 
event long to be remembered. We were all proud of the 'jy families and 
thankful to Prof, and Mrs. Libbey for so thoughtfully and happily bringing us 
all tosfether.

a most useful part in the instruction given in this Laboratory. 

The (|narlers were somewhat cramped, and even the guests at the head 
of the table had to assist the waiters in passing their plates, but it served to make 
the occasion all the more informal and enjoyable. At eight o'clock, sixty-five sat 
down at the table to the inspiring" nuisic of Winklers' Orchestra.

Princeton courage, Princeton learning 

Live forever. And in Heaven

Leal and true were Sev'nty-Seven. 

See the truth of Song and Story ! 

"Crowned with light doth Salem rise ;" 
Stalwart sons and fairest daughters 

Lift her glories to the skies. 
Not to us — to us the glory, 

Gracious God who reigns in Heaven !

{The account of the dinner is taken from stenographic notes through the 
kindness of Jai Scott.) 
The President: It is our privilege to have as our guests representatives 
of classes who were with us in Princeton during our College course. We welcome 
them to our Reunion Dinner, and as we break bread together and put our feet un- 
der the same table, we trust that each one will feel that on this occasion at least 
he is one of the Family. We therefore extend a 'yy greeting to West '74, Burr '75, 
Henry '76, Dulles '78, Cuyler and Dodge '79, Fine '80. 

Three old-time Princeton cheers were then given for our guests. Jai 
Scott, Denny, Kimball, Van Dusen and Balloch began to warble at once, and no 
famous chorus could have rendered the old songs with half the satisfaction and 
finish as the assembled 'yy Company when once they were in full swing.

"I sincerely regret that I cannot be with you. If even at the last day I 
find that I can make it, I shall go. The last Re-union lives in my memory as one 
of the most delightful- events of my life. I then resolved never to miss a Re-union. 
I feel an obligation as well as a desire to be with you, for I think that every 
fellow ought to attend if he possibly can." C. G. Greene. 

"I am very sorry to say that there is no prospect now of my being able 
to attend the 'yy Reunion. Business engagements will keep me here, so it seems 
now. I cannot wish you and the other fellows anything better than as pleasant a 
Reunion as the one five years ago." R. W. Walker.

be present, but assure you that your kindness in keeping me posted in matters of 
importance relating to the boys or fellows of '']'i is duly appreciated." 

M. M. Padget. 

"Answering your circular dated 19th ult. but only just received, I regret 
exceedingly to say that I fear I shall be unable to attend the 30th Reunion. My 
love to all the old boys, with the hope that each and every one of us still on the 
Roll, will be able to respond to the next Reunion invitation. I will be glad to 
receive the revised program and also any published report of the Reunion, 
particularly the present Class Roll, etc." W. W. Johnston. 

"I regret very much that it does not suit me better to go to Reunion next 
week, but I feel that I shall have to forego the pleasure. I hope there will be a 
large attendance and a good time generally." J. T. Ailman. 

"Impossible for me to get to the Reunion. I am very busy." 

S. B. Johnston. 

"I fear that I shall not be able to join you, as I wrote you on the 22nd. 
I regret this exceedingly, as I had hoped and expected to be present, but there 
are some things over which we seem to have but little control." 

C. M. Bushnell. 

"Despite your well-nigh irresistible appeal, and the strong desire I have to 
attend the approaching Reunion, the effects of a serious illness in my family 
necessitate my leaving the city in a day or two for a prolonged stay along the 
Canadian borders." Hugh Pritchard.. 

"Regret very much that I cannot attend the Class Reunion, but it is 
impossible. Best wishes for all of you." E. R. Johnston. 

"It had been my intention to inflict Princeton with my presence this June 
by attending our 30th Reunion, but just now find it impossible to spare the time. 
I should love dearly to see my old friends, and when any of them pass this way 
I hope they will look me up." W. P. Samuel. 

"I appreciate your kindly interest in your classmates, but I find it impos- 
sible to attend the Reunion." G. H. Gowdy.

"I hope you will have a still better Reunion at the approaching commence- 
ment. I shall be with you all in spirit, rejoicing in the fame and triumphs of the 
various members of the Class, and joining in the cheers for Alma Mater. With 
greetings to all the 'boys'." J. H, Laughlin. 

"I am sorry to say that I shall be unable to be present at Commencement 
Time. I hope the boys will have a delightful time, but I cannot be there. Our 
school work does not close until the 14th of June, so that you will understand 
that I cannot come on." W. M. Butler. 

"I fear that I shall be unable to attend, as the time conflicts with our 
last week of recitations here, and I am reluctant to leave our students here 
without the consolations of Mathematics at such an important time. I could get 
away more easily almost any other week of the year. Please give my love to all 
of the old boys. I shall be with you in spirit, if not in the flesh." 

Malcolm McNeill, 

"I regret that I shall not be present at the '']'] Class Reunion. My summer 
plans carry me too far afield by that time. I hope you will all have a grand time." 

Frederic Campbell. 

"I regret very much that I do not see my way clear at the present writing 
to attend the Reunion of ^'jy. For many years I have been looking forward to 
attending this year, but I fear that circumstances beyond my control will prevent." 

James W. Bowers, Jr. 

"Deeply regret inability to attend Dinner, unavoidable. Unexpectedly 
detained. Love to the fellows." Andrew J. McCosh. 

"I am in midst of moving to another Pastorate and cannot attend Reunion. 
I wish very much that I could. I wish you and the Class a happy Re-union." 

Geo. G. Barnes. 

"It is hard to resist your 'final appeal.' It makes one feel almost guilty 
to do so. The reason you have not heard from me is that the question has been 
unsettled in my own mind. If my own choice were the only consideration I 
should be there. But it is a very difficult matter for me to get away from home 
particularly at the Commencement season, when special duties devolve upon me. 
Please, therefore, do not interpret my absence to mean indifiference, as I am very 
certain I should greatly enjoy the Reunion, which I trust may be a grand success." 

H. N. Mateer. 

The President: On the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. McCosh, the Reunion 
Committee planned to send to her a token of love from the Class of '"jy. The 
matter was placed in the hands of George Armour, and, with his usual large- 
heartedness, he procured a handsome silver vase and filled it with flowers and 
sent it to Mrs. McCosh, who acknowledged the gift in the following autograph 
letter : 

80 



"Princeton, N. J., May 2nd. 
"My dear Mr. Armour: 

"I wish to thank you and the Class of 'yy for the beautiful and handsome 
Loving Cup which I received on Tuesday, my 90th birthday. I appreciate very 
much the kind thought which prompted the Class to send it, and I assure you 
that this birthday remembrance brings to my mind pleasant recollections of the 
past when, as a Class, you were in College. 

"Sincerely yours, 

"Isabella McCosh." 

Armour : God bless her, give her many years of long life, 

McKoy: Mr. President: I only want to say this, that a very few days 
ago I happened to be in Cumberland, Maryland, and called up Slabby Johnson 
over the telephone. He is a Clerk of the Court there, assistant Clerk of the 
Court. I said, "Hello, who is that?" He said, "Mr. Johnson." Said I, "Are 
you old Slabby Johnson ?" Old Slabby Johnson ! I have not seen him in thirty 
years. "Oh," he said, "who are you?" Well, I said, "I am old Tom McKoy." 
He said, "God bless you; it is raining mighty hard, but where are you? I am 
coming up there to see you in a few minutes" ; and he was so sorry that he could 
not get here with us to-day. I saw him, and had a long, sweet talk with him. 

(A Voice: How did you see him — through the telephone?) 

McKoY : Old Slabby Johnson ! He is as loyal a ^yy man as ever lived 
on earth. 

(A Voice: A figure like yours?) 

McKoY : Slabby never got fat, and I did. But he sent this message through 
me, and I give it to you ; he sends his love and his loyalty to the old Class of 'yy ; 
and that is about a week old, and therefore I give it to you for what it is worth. 

The President: By special request, I call on Doc Balloch. 

Balloch : I would like to make a few remarks at the present time. 

Layng: Speak out. 

Balloch : The Trustees to-day, in their wisdom — or, rather, in the exer- 
cise of an unusual common sense — saw fit to bestow upon our honored President, 
Secretary, Treasurer, etc., the degree of M.A. (hear, hear), which means Master 
of Arts, but to us it means Master of us All. 

(A Voice: That is good.) 

81 



However, we have secured, at a very large expense, a striking portrait of 
our multiphase officer, which is entitled "A High Office, Well Filled," and is an 
account of John A. Campbell as a Y. M. C. A. man — a phase of his life with 
which none of us are acquainted. Nevertheless, it is simply a recognition of the 
fact that the 'tj man is good anywhere you put him, and in any capacity that you 
choose to use him. 

Now, Jai Compbell, we hope you will cherish this valuable oil painting, 
secured at an enormous expense, by the grateful contributions of your loving 
friends, and accept it as a token of our good wishes. God bless you. 

The Board of Trustees also, in conferring the degree of M.A. upon Jai 
Campbell, had in consideration the conferring of the same degree of M.A. upon 
Kimball, meaning by that a Master of Automobiles. But yesterday Kimball 
loaned his automobile to three 

(A Voice: You stole it.) 

(A Voice: And you are not connected with the Pennsylvania Legislature.) 
(Laughter.) 

-of his trusting friends, who fell a victim to one of Kimball's jokes. The 



automobile went as far as Kingston, and would not go any further, and his three 
confiding friends had to walk home from Kingston, of whom I was one. At 
another enormous expense, which sadly depleted the pocket book of his trusting 
friends, a subscription was taken up to buy Kimball a good car, and I now have 
the honor. Dr. Kimball, to present you with this automobile (presenting k tin 
automobile), which we are sure will run. 

Also, we took with us yesterday a graduate of the Scientific School, a 
supposed expert in engineering. We found we were perfectly safe. When we 
arrived at Kingston, the engine gave out, the expert engineer sat on the bank, and 
said to the chauffer, "You know more about this than I do; suppose you see 
what is the matter with it." We sat there for two hours, and finally we concluded 
to walk in. It may not be known to most of you, but it is known to some of us 
(much laughter) that Mr. Stevens has written an extensive article or book or 
pamphlet on Gasolene Engines, the subscription to which amounted to one copy, 
which, with a great deal of diligence, and also at another enormous outlay, which 
has not yet been met, I have been able to secure, and in order that this thing may 
be published, I will turn over to Mr. Stevens this volume on "What I Know 
about Gasolene Engines, by C. E. Stevens, B.S.," — which means Bum Chauffer. 
(Presenting a blank book.) 

One fact I forgot — some of you may not know that Senator Ormond has 
degenerated from the high plane of philosophy to drop into the low plane of 
poetry, on the order of Joe Potter. Perhaps some of you have heard that at the 
ball game last Saturday, Ben Nicol, a very representative member of the Class 
of ''jj, said to a distinguished member of the Class, "Aw, by the way, Ormond 

82

is quite a celebrated man; is he not?" The member said, "Why, certainly." The 
London Spectator said, "Professor Ormond is the most distinguished American 
philosopher since Jonathan Edwards." Ben. "Do you think that he is as distin- 
guished as Dad Atwater?" "I think he is, physically." Now, Senator, I am 
requested, by unanimous vote of the Class, to ask you to read this ode. 

(Calls for "Ormond, Ormond. Do your duty.") 

Senator Ormond: All right, Doc, I will take you back if we have to walk. 

Dr. Balloch : Your girth will be less when we get that ode out of you. 

The President : Do not pay any more attention to Doc Balloch. He 
requested me to call on him at this point because he had this automobile to 
present to Kimball, and this beautiful book to present to Stevie, but, much to my 
surprise, takes a fall out of myself, and he will do all of you if you do not 
stop him. 

(Calls for Jenkins.) 

Jenkins: I do not want to take the field 

(A Voice: What language is he using?) 

1 think you all are aware of the fact that at the last Reunion — you know 

the time of the year it came — my song came near spoiling a speech next day. I 
will sing you one stanza of a Welsh hymn. You will remember how Momo Pyne 
was influenced by the Welsh song, what a splendid success he made next day 

Osborn : It was a Welsh rare-bit. 

Jenkins: If you will make as good a speech for us to-morrow, I will 
be very glad to sing a song for you. 

(Singing a Welsh song.) 

A Voice: All he said was — "Oh, my! the Carburetter.") 

The President: Gentlemen, Professor West wrote both the music and 
the words of "The Triple Cheer' 

(A Voice: West! Never.) 

Turn to page 164 of the Carmina Princetonia, and I request him now to 

lead us in singing this splendid song. 

83 



OsBORN : Excuse me; I want to go and sec a friend; I will wait until 
he is through. 

(Professor West then led in singing The Triple Cheer.) 

The President: I luidcrstand that Jo. Potter, since he got to this enthusi- 
astic reunion, has heen writing a Poem or an Ode, and 1 now call on him to let 
us have it. 

Potter: Not a poem, not even an ode, hut a few hasty lines without much 
rhyme or reason. I did once write an Ode 

Ormond: "The Class Ode" ! 

I*otter: Before that, ll was in the days when the Princetonian was 
born — a child of "']'] — and Pilly Williamson as Editor in Chief, and Billy Bryan 
and Billy Slemmons and the others were asking contrihutions from the class for 
the first numher. Billy P)ryan honored me with a request for some verse — "any 
doggerel will do," he said, "to liven up the Here and There department." As you 
will all rememher, it was just after William Allen Butler's reforms had been 
consmnmated and the "Southerly" Campus had been wiped ofif the map — so it 

seemed appropriate to choose that for a subject and I wrote an "Ode to S 

C ," taking as a model the Ode to a Grecian Urn. I cannot now recall all 

of that Ode — a busy life tangled up with commercial alTairs plays tricks with 
memory and leads one far afield from the high plane of liicralure and poesy — 
but I do remember a few lines, which ran like this : 

In the season of friiils, to Mnemosyne sweet, 
How swift was the tread of our hurrying feet, 
And how frequent our visits ! Oh, lost friend of ours, 
How hidden thy eharms and how huricd lliy powers 
To distil us thy fragrance ! 

JuDDY McCalmont : Hear, hear ! 
Potter : And it wound up like this : 

They may hide, they may hury thy site if they will. 
But the memory of odours will hang 'round it still! 

KiMHALL: We'll all bet on that! 

Potter: Well, I handed this fragrant ode to r.illy I'ryan and he smiled 
his characteristic smile and said, "This is all right, it will make the faculty laugh." 
Then I waited patiently for the first number of the Princetonian and eagerly 

84 



scanned the Here and There department, but the Ode wasn't there. So I tackled 
Bryan on the campus and demanded an explanation. "Oh," he said, "Billy 
Williamson put his blue pencil through your blooming ode and you'll have to 
see him." So I went to Williamson and said, "Billy, what's the matter with that 
'Ode'? wasn't it all right?" "Oh, yes," said Wilhamson, "it was all right. It's 
bully. Some of the allusions are very delicate. But to tell you the truth, it is a 
little too 'high' for the first Princetonian !" 

Now, Mr. President, I ask your protection. Bryan and Williamson are 
both here to-night. They choked off my budding muse. Don't let them smother 
it in its dotage. 

John Campbell: I shall not. 

Potter : Then here goes : 

I dreamed a funny dream last night — 

I saw Bill Libbey climb the Alps, 
Or was it in Alaska, white, 

That Schwatka drank up all the schnapps? 
John Westcott chews on ancient roots 
And trees of knowledge shoot up from his boots ; 
Wick Scott sits on Archean stone, and 
Talks about the Patagonian ; 
And Polly Osborn writes of Tertiary bones — 
Uintatherium — Dinoceras, 
And doesn't care a continental cuss 

For the sweet flatteries Smithsonian ; 
While Ormond with bread basket amply filled, 

Obscures the vi^.w of each Princetonian. 

These are our jewels, these our stars, 

And there's McNeill— what's up, McNeill— in Mars? 

Jacobus, we should all expect. 

Would wear at least a Bishop's hat. 
But that he'd claim the youngest class-boy now — 

Not that, oh no, not that ! 
It seems all right that Nigger Jim 

Should chase the fox on country runs, 
And fume at golf, that profane game ; 

That Momo Pyne should send his sons 
To win their laurels at the same; — 

But Billy Smith to sport a yacht ! 
Not that, oh no, not that ! 
Frank Hartley is a surgeon famed, 
Our Andy's laurels fill his purse, 
But Ruel Kimball, a wet nurse ! 
What! 
Oh no, not that, not that ! 

85 



The papers say Ben Nicoll now 

Plays polo, — "rode his pony like a boat" ; 
And Calvin Greene still makes a bow 

When the dear ladies are about; 
John Campbell is a thirty-third term President, 

Has Roosevelt beat a hundred miles, 
And forceful Billy Williamson 

Sits here right now, and smiles and smiles; 
But that Cal. Greene should say Ely was fat, 

(A voice: — Stand up Ely and show yourself) 
And weighed 300 pounds, not that ! 
Oh no, not that ! 

These were the crew that liked fish roes, 
And scooped the Saratoga potatoes. 

We look with pride on Justice Smith, 
And slated, too, we're well aware, 

Are Harry Thompson, Johnny Biggs, 
As Senators from Delaware — 

We love our poets, Jenkins, Clark, 

And Sally Speir — God save the mark! 

What ho ! Van Dusen, tell us now 

Did Jai Scott cause that wrinkled brow? 

And what's the matter now with Glass, 
The Gulf States foremost Editor, 

Or big Dick Walker, tho alas. 

He's now the nation's creditor ; — 

For Theo. I., the President, 

Withheld from hmi a Judge's place, 

Because he had been negHgent 
In procreating his own race. 

Is there anything wrong with Ammi Schanck — 

He sticks to Princeton in file and rank; 

Or Juddy McCalmont, Armour, Pit? — 

When anything's doing, they're always it ! 
Or Tom McKoy, there's only one. 
Exuding mirth and bubbling fun ; 
Or Hazard, Dickey Richardson, 
Or all the galaxy from statesmen down? 
Time flies, or this should be the roll 
Each classmate's virtues to extol — 
From Alpha Ailman, known for gumption, 
To Omega Wyckoff, Princeton Junction. 

But there are other names that come 
With the dull throb of muffled drum ; 

Too often speeds the black barred word 
Our eyes to dim, our hearts to shock ; — 

A tear for Wardlaw's genius, stirred, 
A note of love for Billy Throck, 

A hymn of joy that Annin lived 
To beat his thrilling music out 
In fearless love, eclipsing doubt.

View From the Campus 



'Tis hallowed ground where Dunnmg lies, 

And dear the earth that covers Lynde, 

And all those gone of noble mind, 
Now cherished in fond imageries, 

Whose burdens dropped, whose souls took flight. 

And swiftly passed us in the night. 

We stand upon a high plateau. 

And looking backward, thirty years, 
Trace well our climbing" road below. 

In love and labour, joy and tears. 

And looking forward the path climbs ! 

Not all can reach their high desire. 

Not all maj^ see the promised land. 

But heart to heart, as hand in hand, 
With common purpose we aspire ! 
Onward and vipward, more and more. 

Up, onward, still Excelsior — 
What is the light that marks the crest. 

What beacon fire that still appears, 

Through the dim vision of the years. 
And makes a halo in the mist? 

What is the goal of Seventy-Seven? 

It is, dear boys, the Truth of God, in Heaven ! (Applause.) 

Three cheers were given for Joe Potter. 

The President: Fellows, I am known to you not as a speaker, but as a 
letter writer, whose literary efforts have been confined chiefly to one great theme — 
the Class of 'yj, — and what little I may have to say to-night will be upon the 
same subject. 

I am not responsible for this beautiful program, nor for the seltctiun of 
toasts or speakers; our thanks are due Frank Speir for his splendid work in this 
line at this Reunion, and we hope to have him cheerfully assume this burden each 
succeeding anniversary. 

No one is happier than myself as I look into the faces of classmates that 
I have known and served for over thirty years with an affection never stronger 
than at the present time. 

Our family circle has been broken all too often, but never divided. We 
had no factions in undergraduate days, and the same spirit of unity and harmony 
has been increasingly manifest all these years. 

Starting out in Freshman Year with an enrolment of 97 fellows, owing 
to the unpleasantness with Prof. Eddy and similar causes, at the close of the 
year but 80 men were left. (Armour,; — Do not refer to that episode.) But those 
who were adjudged by the Faculty to be the three disgraces are now known as the 
Three Graces. (x\rmour, Layng and Ford arose and bowed with hands on theii 
hearts, saying, Thanks, awfully!) 

87 



In Sophomore Year the scientific men joined our Class, sixteen in number, 
and twenty-four were added to the academic, a total increase of 50 per cent. 

In Junior Year ten were added, but some fell by the wayside, and yet at 
the close of Senior Year we numbered 114. All told, we had 156 fellows con- 
nected with our Class at various times (Layng, — He got us in), and we claim 
every one as a classmate. Once a '"]"] man, always one. (Applause.) 

It is an especial pleasure to welcome to our Reunion for the first time, 
our old classmates. Best and McKinley. 

Of the total number, — 156, — };] have died, three before graduation, Colton 
and Raymond and Scott. We affectionately if sadly remember them to-night. 

Twenty-six are unmarried, and I commend to their thoughtful considera- 
tion the statement of the philosopher that four things are essential to success in 
life; the first a good wife, the three others money. When we were beginning 
to lose all hope, along comes Chapin to revive our drooping spirits. (Toast to 
Dr. and Mrs. Chapin.) (A voice, — Stand up.) (A voice, — He is married, he's 
down and out.) 

Thirty- four fellows are engaged in various business enterprises; 32 are 
lawyers, including four Judges and a member of Congress; 15 are ministers; 
12 are Doctors; seven are Professors in Universities, four in Princeton, one in 
Columbia, one in Lake Forest, one in Wooster; five are teachers; five journalists, 
and two farmers. (A voice, — What about golf players?) 

I shall send out inquiries in a few days seeking for information for a new 
Class Record. Ten years ago it took over a thousand letters to obtain the required 
data, and if necessary two thousand will be written this year. I shall also intro- 
duce by way of variety the '"collect telegram.'' When I reflect upon your repu- 
tation as prompt correspondents, I am reminded of the Scotchman's description 
of a homely woman he had lately married. A friend asked him, — Sandy, what 
kind of a wife have you married? Well, he replied, she is the Lord's handiwork, 
but I canna' say she is his masterpiece. 

Fellows we are proud of our Class and justly so (You are right!). The 
Record is exceptional in that an overwhelming proportion are faithfully, earnestly 
and successfully doing their share of the world's work. As to what the Class has 
done for Princeton, read the statement made by Pyne in his speech at the Alumni 
Dinner at our last Reunion. It is magnificent and has not been excelled by any 
class. 

The end is not yet. We cannot afford to rest on our laurels. What we 
have done in the past is a prophecy for the future. Long live the. spirit of the 
Class of '"jy, for it is one of steadfast devotion and loyalty to Princeton, not in 
expectation of favors to come, but in gratitude for priceless benefits bestowed 
which a lifetime of service cannot adequately repay. (Bet your life. Yea, Yea, 
Yea.) Long live the spirit of friendship, fellowship, comradeship begun in col- 
lege days to continue through time and eternity. 

Layng : Here's to ''j'j, drink her down. 



OsBORN : Boys, why not rise and give three cheers for John Campbell ? I 
propose three cheers for old John Campbell. 

(What is the matter with John Campbell; he is all right.) 

(Who is all right?) 

(John Campbell; he is all right.) 

The President: Fellows, the next toast, but not in regular order, is one 
that Frank Speir, the Master of Ceremonies, has requested me to propose ar 
the present time, entitled "The Penalties of Friendship." After two and a half 
days in this house, I would like to respond to that toast myself. (Applause and 
laughter, j As it is not given me to do so, I do not know of anybody who is 
more worthy than John Scott, Jr., who has assumed a great many burdens of '']'], 
and has been faithful in the following of his Class. I hear from no one more 
frequently in regard to information as to members of our Class than from John 
Scott. He will now respond to the toast, "The Penalties of Friendship." 

The Class then sang: 

He is a jolly good fellow; he is a jolly good fellow; he is a jolly good 
fellow. 

(That no one can deny.) 

(A Voice : Who wants to deny it?) 

THE PENALTIES OF FRIENDSHIP 
Response by John Scott, Jr. 

Mr. President and Friends All: I am assigned a serious toast, and I 
intend to treat it in a serious vein. I would be glad also to be given a serious 
hearing. 

I confess it was with somewhat of a jolt that I received notice from my 
friend, Speir, my room-mate for three happy years, and my friend ever since, as 
I have always thought, that when this toast, "The Penalties of Friendship," was 
announced, I was to rise and take advantage of the opportunity. Whether the 
opportunity was for confession, or for what other purpose, I was not advised. 
What Speir has suffered I can but surmise, but for my part I had forgotten and 
forgiven all long ago. H he has suffered he must make his own charges, but I 
forgive him freely for any such insinuations. 

Whatever the penalties, the subject itself offers ground for thought and 
reflection. Coming back, as we have done, to the scenes of happy days of thirty 
years ago, meeting again the friends of boyhood days, reviving old recollections, 
and telling experiences of the mean time, surely we know in our hearts "How good 
it feels — the hand of an old friend." We do not need to analyze the feeling of 

89 



friendship; we know and realize its substance. We find fullest joy in those whom 
we have known, have cared for, and with whom passing years only bind us 
closer. We care not how the bond was created, whether by nature, by contract, 
by interest, or by soul ; we know that it exists ; that it continues and increases even 
as our numbers decrease. We know by the final test of experience that "Friend- 
ship is the gift of the gods and the most precious boon to man," and may even 
say with the sage that "Friendship like the immortality of the soul is too good to 
be believed." 

Another wise man has said that "at school, friendship is a passion." 1 
think this assembly here to-night is strong testimony to the fact that in this class 
at least the passion of youth has lasted the span of a generation. Thank God, that 
in this workaday world such a passion of youth can so long last unaffected by lapse 
of time, by change of condition, by separation, by the formation of new ties and 
new associations or by any circumstance of all these thirty years ! 

We may not all agree upon any definition of friendship. We may not ap- 
preciate the Englishman's view of it as expressed by Dr. Johnson, that "the 
feeling of friendship is that of being comfortably filled with roast beef." But, 
after all, there is a good deal of sound sense in that view of the matter. It 
means that you have what you want, when you want it (A Voice: Good), and 
where you want it ; you know that it is good, and that it does good to you. Thar 
is our condition here to-night. We are here with old friends, good friends, 
friends whom we have known long and tried well, and found none wanting, and 
we are happy in that. 

But, what are the penalties we are to suffer for this ? What pain is to fol- 
low hard on this pleasure, what must we suffer for it all? I do not now mean 
any reference to possible headaches or indigestion, nor do I refer to the usual 
feeling either of a southern (A Voice: North Carolina) or northern gentleman 
on the morning after. Such things may be usual, but the causes are personal 
rather than due to the association. Possibly the answer to the question is that 
we must suffer with our friends, but that again means only the sympathy which 
must exist between those of kindred minds. The more likely penalty is that we 
suffer by our friends, and in this respect the manners and forms which the penalty 
may take are so numerous that one could not pretend to enumerate them. There 
sits, however, at this table tonight one who could, if he would, out of his experi- 
ence tell you such a tale of woe as to almost cover every form of penalty inflicted 
by one friend upon another. He might tell you that he has met at our hands num- 
berless exhibitions of all the pains and penalties that could be laid upon the head 
of a devoted, faithful and long-suffering friend, and he has been all of that. 
Faithful in season and out of season, he has labored for us these thirty years with 
scant return. He has had from us surly replies, absolute indifference, sometimes 
utter neglect of all his friendly efforts. His patient, piteous, persistent appeals 
have too often fallen upon deaf ears. His patience, his devotion and his energies 
in dealing with what Bill Slemmons has recently called a "stiff-necked and un- 
responsive section of the best class ever" are known to us all. How large that 
section has been, too many of us know to our shame, and so now what shall we 

90 




Silver Cup and Standard Presented to the 
Secretary by his Classmates 



say to this man on whom thus we have so heavily laid the penalties of our 
friendship? What apology shall we render for all our neglects and misdeeds, for 
our sins of omission and commission? 

And so now, John Campbell, the task has been delegated to me to undertake 
to demonstrate to you our sorrow for what we have done, or not done, in the past, 
and to show you our pledge for the future. We will retract all evil we have ever 
said or told of you. We believe that you were and are the best President, and 
best Secretary ''']'] or any other class ever had or could have (A Voice: Turn on 
the lime-light). You set the pace, and are the example for all succeeding class 
officers. The Princeton Secretary of to-day, of the best type, is modeled after the 
Secretary of ''j'j. (A Voice: Amen.) 

Emerson says, "It is sublime to say of another, I need never meet, or 
speak or write to him; * * * * I rely on him as on myself; if he did this and thus, 
I know it was right." (Cheers.) I am delegated by ^'^'j to-night to say that and 
all of that of John Campbell. (A Voice: Amen, John's all right.) We give him 
all praise, in full gospel measure ; and, now with our apology, it is my pleasure also 
that I am asked to give you our pledge, a pledge in which the whole class as 
one man has joined. You have absolutely given the lie to the trite saying that 
a favorite has no friends (hear, hear!) ; you are every man's favorite and every 
man is your friend. And now, old friend, good friend, long-suffering and much 
penalized friend of us all, it is with great pleasure that I ask you to accept from 
your class-mates both the apology and the pledge. The pledge is cast in an endur- 
ing form, and we trust will give you some portion of the pleasure with which 
we give it. I can add nothing to the inscription which tells the whole story, and 
which now I propose to read : 

To John A. Campbell 

For thirty years President of the Class of 1877 

Princeton University 

From his loving class-mates 

A token of their love for the man and of 

appreciation of his services to the Class. 

I want to say one word more. I want to relate a little of the history of 
this. Less than a month ago — it was after we received John Campbell's report 
of the last Reunion, because before that we had no Class Roll ; that was the only 
reason it was held up — but since that came in, a circular letter was sent out to the 
members of the Class, and I want to say to you it was one of the greatest pleasures 
of my life to read morning after morning the letters that came in. I had a 
letter from pretty nearly every living man, and no matter what else they had to 
say, every man said, 'T want to come in on this," because, as one man put it, John 
Campbell was one of the best men God ever created (hear, hear). That was sim- 
ply the text that every man wrote on, and each letter was simply a variation of 
the same theme. I confess my eyes filled with tears more than once at some of the 
letters that came. Sometime, when John Campbell is willing to do it, I want him 
to read over some of these letters. But this gave me one thought, and that is the 



toast I want to propose to-night — that John Campbell is the best beloved man that 
we know. 

(A Voice: Amen.) 

I want to propose the toast to John Campbell, the best beloved man of '']']. 

(A Voice: Get to work now.) 

Toast and three cheers for Jai Campbell. 

A magnificent silver loving cup and salver was then brought forth and pre- 
sented to the Secretary and duly passed around. 

Jai Campbell : Fellows, this is taking a very unkind advantage of me. 
I do not need any gift from the Class of 'yy, to make proof of their devotion. It 
has been shown in countless ways, and I have received from you far more than 
I ever gave. 

(A Voice: No; you have not.) 

If I can do so I will try and thank you, but there is a tug at my heart 
strings. Ten years after we graduated dear old Billy Dunning said in presenting 
me with a scarf pin, "John, we trust you." Those few words have been of price- 
less benefit to me, and their help cannot be compared with the little amount of 
work that I have done for the benefit of the Class of 'yy. We all need some moral 
support in this life, especially in times when temptation comes to us, and words 
like those spoken by Billy Dunning have ever been a strong tower of help. 
(Applause.) I have viewed many a transaction in the light of what would my 
class-mates think of it ; and your confidence in me has been of the utmost value to 
me. I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me. The great- 
est pleasure in my life has been to serve this Class; and of all the offices that I 
have held in my life, or tried to secure, I have valued this office most highly to 
which you in your kindness have elected me year after year. I value the friend- 
ship, the loving friendship of every member of my Class, and I would that I 
could give voice to the loving thoughts that fill my heart. As I look around 
me and see so many of our royal good fellows that come here time after time, to 
attend these splendid reunions, as I think of those we liave loved and who have 
gone from us, I cannot but wish I had been more faithful in the work entrusted 
to me. The trouble, the pains taken go for nothing; it is amply repaid every 
time we have a reunion ; and when this one is over, and we go back to our 
several places, I want you to feel that you owe me nothing, that the debt is on the 
other side. 

(A Voice: Yes; we do.) 

92 



I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, for your mag- 
nificent gift, for your sincere expressions of regard and affection. I know that I 
do not deserve this at your hands, but as long as Hfe lasts I shall ever cherish your 
kindness to me tonight. (Applause.) 

(A Voice: We love you, John.) 

Ely : I propose three cheers for the best University, the best Class, the best 
President and Secretary that we have ever known. 

(A Voice: The best poobah.) 

(Three cheers for Jai Campbell.) 

Scott : Now is the time for Jenkins' ode. You understand why we have 
blocked it off. 

(Calls for Jenkins, three cheers for Jenkins, the poet of the Class of '']'].) 

Mr. Jenkins then read the following ode: 

JOHN A. CAMPBELL. 
President and Secretary for thirty years of the Class of ''j'j, Princeton 
University. The occasion being the presentation to him of a loving cup by his 
Class as an expression of appreciation: 

Three decades past and of rare faithfulness 

As worthy leader, scribe, of Seventy-seven ! 
To duty's call, in gloom or cheerfulness 

His facile talent, valued time, was given ; 
'Twas hard to pen the Grim Destroyer's stroke, 

For distant classmates, yet 'twas bravely done 
In gentle sentence, and to best evoke 

The tear of sorrow, — sympathy was won. 

In "Invitations" his was strength untold 

Which to his victim proved a certain doom. 
Was there a class-mate sad like Saul of old? 

He came like David to disperse the gloom. 
If winter was the temper of one's life, 

He came like summer — full of light and bloom. 
No castle of invention, shrewd excuse 

Be one abroad or nestling close at home, 
No dire misfortune — sickness — barely Death, 

Could prove all safety from his word to "Come." 
'Tis fitting now, and triply fitting too. 

To give a cup— a jeweled feat of art — 
A "loving cup" in praise of service true, 

And lasting love, for playing such a part. 

Princeton University, June, 1907 • Rev. D. D. Jenkins, B.D. 

93 



The President: Fellows, it is most appropriate that the toast "Princeton 
University" should be responded to by one of the most loyal, devoted, unselfish, 
unassuming and generous men that ever graduated from old Princeton. (Hear, 
Hear.) I refer to that prince of Princetonians, M. Taylor Pyne. I propose three 
cheers for "Momo Pyne." 

(Three rousing cheers were given.) 

And now three more cheers for Princeton University. 

(Three cheers.) 

RESPONSE BY M. TAYLOR PYNE 

Fellows, I feel entirely unequal to the task you have set before me to- 
night. John Campbell has just told us that he was no speaker, and immediately 
afterward proved that he was. Unfortunately, I am not an orator, like the Presi- 
dent or Tom McKoy. 

(A Voice: McKoy, too!) 

They could do much better. I have generally done my work quietly and let 
other and abler men do the talking. And really the only thing I can do, in answer 
to this toast, having been Trustee for so many years, is to read the minutes of the 
previous meeting. 

When I came out of the College thirty years ago, there was no Princeton 
spirit whatever. There was no loyalty. Some of the strongest and most active 
and useful Alumni that we have to-day were then worth nothing to us. Shortly 
after we graduated, Cleve Dodge and his friends in '79 got us into difficulty with 
the Seminoles. Then Harry Fine stirred up trouble in his Class. Between the 
two they almost killed old Princeton, and I made up my mind at that time that I 
would try to do something for the old College; so I went out into the highways 
and by-ways — there are no hedges in New York — and tried in every way that I 
could to arouse interest. I at once found C. C. Cuyler and from that day to this 
he has been the most loyal and most constant, most energetic worker we have had. 
He has given his time and brains, his energy and his money, and everything he 
had, practically, to Princeton ; and from that moment, through all the dark time, 
he has stood by me in the work. And I think he will have to admit that if it had 
not been for him I should have stopped working for Princeton twenty years ago. 

(Osborn: May I interrupt? What is the matter with the Class of '79? 
I propose three cheers for the Class of '79-) 

(Three cheers.) 

I do not like to make odious comparisons, but it seems to me that the work 
which Cuyler and I have done together seems to be emblematic of the men of 

94 




'79 Dormitory, Facing Prospect Ave. 




Gates in Front of Nassua Hall 



'79 and ''j'j. That those two classes have done more for Princeton than any other 
I am sure. 



(A Voice: Look at the soHdarity in spirit — fine.) 

Exactly. The first thing we took up was to try and get some enthusiasm, 
some loyalty in the Alumni. In that we were very ably aided by three men, Mr. 
James W. Alexander — 

(A Voice: God bless old Jim Alexander.) 

God bless old James Alexander ; he stood by us in the dark days ; we 
worked together at first almost without assistance. We also had two men, Bayard 
Henry and Harry Thompson, in Philadelphia. Billy Dulles at that time was a 
great Princeton rooter and worker, but he was one of the few. 

For the first three years we met with great discouragements. About 1885, 
however, there suddenly began to appear an entire change among the Alumni, 
which soon spread down to the undergraduates. From that time to this there has 
been a steadily increasing Princeton loyalty of spirit ; love for the place has grown 
with increasing strength year after year, and the inspiration has spread until 
now there is nothing like it in the country. No other University has such Alumni 
as we have. 

Well, for some mysterious reason, the Trustees, in 1884, saw fit to elect me 
to the Board, and shortly after that Jacobus came in. Now Jacobus will bear 
me out in saying that in those days it was a very difficult Board to work with. 
The Trustees spent most of the time fighting Dr. McCosh. For years. Jacobus 
and myself, most of the time, voted in the minority. Gradually that attitude 
changed, as one man went out of and another came into the Board, until now we 
have two '76 men, three '']'] men, and five '79 men, and those men really are the 
most active men in the Board of Trustees at the present date. 

Just to show what '']'] is doing in the Board, let me say that the three most 
important Committees of that Board are the Committees on the Curriculum, on 
Grounds and Buildings, and on Finance. The Chairman of each of those Com- 
mittees is a '']'] man. 

As things went on, after Dr. McCosh, we had another great man at the 
head of the University, but there was very little organization. 

We lacked organization, but we went on pounding along and yet it seemed 
very difficult for us to accomplish anything. But, like Brer Rabbit, we lay low 
and kept On working. Five years ago, at our last reunion you remember. Wood- 
row Wilson was elected President. From that moment to this there has never 
been a moment's stop in the tremendous advance of the University. He began by 
taking care of the discipline. We straightened that out, and then increased the 



95 



standard, and brought up this balanced curriculum, which I think is the greatest 
curriculum in this country. Finally, at the end, through the assistance of the 
Alumni, we installed the preceptorial system. 

I should like to have spoken a little about that preceptorial system ; but in 
his report, President Wilson today made mention of it, and I asked him to give me 
a copy of that part of it, which I think is in better shape than anything I could 
say myself. I quote from his report as follows: 

"We have witnessed in the last few years the creation of a new Princeton, 
as the result, — the astonishing prompt result — of our attempt to give the Univer- 
sity a vital, spontaneous intellectual life, — not a life of pedants and grinds, or of 
youngsters held inexorably to formal tasks, but a life of young men led by many 
influences to read and think for themselves along great lines of study, emancipated 
from school methods and stimulated to use their minds outside the class-room. 
We realized that, for all its subtle charm and beguiling air of academic distinction, 
Princeton, so far as her undergraduates were concerned, had come to be merely 
a delightful place of residence, where young men, for the most part happily occu- 
pied by other things, were made to perform certain academic tasks ; that, although 
we demanded at stated times a certain part of the attention of our pupils for intel- 
lectual things, their life and consciousness were for the rest wholly unacademic 
and detached from the interests which in the theory were the all-important inter- 
ests of the place. For a great majority of them, residence here meant a happy life 
of comradeship and sport, interrupted by the grind of perfunctory "lessons and ex- 
aminations, to which they attended rather because of the fear of being cut off from 
the life than because they were seriously engaged in getting the training which 
would fit their faculties and their spirits for the tasks of the world which they 
knew they must face after their happy freedom was over. 

"Undoubtedly, if we would give Princeton the highest distinction, and that 
academic leadership in the country which she may now so easily gain, we must 
study at every turn the means by which to lift her intellectual life and achieve- 
ments out of mediocrity not only, but also into such an order of naturalness and 
energy and distinction as shall make her, by reason of her way of success, a con- 
spicuous model and example. There is no true intellectual life for the undergrad- 
uate in the mere faithful performance of set tasks, no matter how eagerly or with 
what concentration he devote himself to them, if between tasks his mind be 
emptied of the interest they have created and his life run entirely free of their 
influence. There must somehow be brought about an interpretation of his experi- 
ence inside the class-room and conference and his experience outside academic 
exercises, where men register their interests by what they do and say and let their 
minds have play upon. A college without sport and without a great deal of irre- 
sponsible boyish disengagement from serious talk and thoughtful effort no one 
can desire who understands the real economics and needs of the mind. The more 
wholesome sport and thoughtless fun, the better both the work and the intimate 
comradeship upon which intellectual endeavor depends for energy and enlarge- 
ment. But leisure and study ought not to be separated in air-tight compartments. 

96 



Leisvire ought to be enriched and diversified by the interests which study creates. 
In the midst of play there ought to be a constant consciousness of what the place 
means and must be made to stand for — a place of thoughtful, manly, disinterested 
men, disciples of university ideals. 

"When we introduced the preceptorial system, we made the greatest strate- 
gic move in that direction that has been made in the whole history of American 
universities. By it we meant to say that the intellectual life of a college did not 
consist of attendance upon class exercises or of preparation for recitations, but 
consisted, rather, of constant contact with study and the intimate association of 
teacher and pupil outside the class-room, where the tradition of lectures and reci- 
tations was forgotten, rejected, and a thoroughly natural and human relationship, 
the relationship of fellow students, substituted. And that meaning has been at 
once made evident to the whole country. The contrast with the old order of 
things is most marked in the case of the intercourse of undergraduates with those 
preceptors who invite them often to their homes, or who live in the same dormi- 
tories with them. A natural and easy relationship, an informal, frequent exchange 
of calls, the easy, unconstrained talks of ordinary comradeship make study itself 
seem a thing natural and human, a thing not so much of formal exaction under 
rules as of the vital contact of minds. It is, by intention and actual fact, a widen- 
ing of the atmosphere of study to seem a natural medium of life and serious 
enjoyment." 

I have read that extract from the President's report, because it expresses 
exactly my views in the matter, and shows what we are trying to do with the pre- 
ceptorial system. 

Now, you have been here for three days wandering about the place, seeing 
the beauties of Princeton, and what we are doing on the physical side ; but that is 
a very small part of the work accomplished in the past five years ; for what has 
been done on the outside is incomparable with the internal work accomplished in 
lifting up the standards of education and in improving the methods of study. We 
feel now that Princeton stands on a higher educational plane than any other Uni- 
versity in this country, and that we have an undergraduate course better than can 
be found elsewhere, and it is most gratifying that the other Universities through- 
out the country are beginning to appreciate this and to admit it publicly. 

Of these things we can be truly proud, and I can also say that the whole of 
this preceptorial scheme was put into operation through the medium of the 
Committee of Fifty, of which Mr. Dodge is Chairman, which has raised the 
money from the Alumni to carry it on. 

Seventy-seven now has, as John Campbell has told us, four men in the fac- 
ulty of Princeton University, and they are doing a great work for Princeton. We 
have three men on the Board of Trustees who are doing the best we can in their 
humble way. We want all of you men to stand by us and hold up our hands. 

(A Voice: And Aaron, too.) 

97 



And hold them out also. 

(A Voice: Now will you be good.) 

The Class of 'jy always has been a generous class and has done its full 
share towards the Committee of Fifty. At our Tenth Reunion, we gave Eleven 
Thousand Dollars to build the Biological Laboratory, which was a great gift for 
those days. At our Twenty-fifth Reunion, we gave Twenty-five Thousand Dol- 
lars as an endowment for Biology, and now, gentlemen, the other classes are mak- 
ing their memorials ; the Class of '79 has given a memorial much greater than we 
can expect to give. 

Ten of the other classes have contributed an entry each, making up a dormi- 
tory; other classes are now subscribing for the same purpose. Is not our Class 
good enough for an entry in one of the new dormitories ? 

The Three Shortstops : No ! No ! Let us give a dormitory — no entry. 

I should like to see the fellows decide on something large enough, if Frank 
Layng will come in. 

(Armour: I am going to spoil his record.) 

I delegate George Armour as a Committee to take up this question, and I 
do hope that before we leave Princeton, we shall arrange upon some memorial, 
which will be in the nature of some kind of endowment to provide funds for the 
payment of these great teachers that we have called here. (Applause.) 

(Song — Old Nassau.) 

(Three cheers for Princeton.) 

Layng : You want to give more than three cheers ; give your money, your 
good money. 

Near the close of Pyne's speech, a card was handed to Jai Campbell, upon 
which was inscribed the never-to-be-forgotten words, "Three Shortstops, $15,000." 
At the conclusion of Pyne's speech the card was shown to him, and he promptly 
responded, "Put me down for $10,000. It was thereupon announced that $25,000 
had been subscribed towards a '"j'j Dormitory, and the fellows were called upon to 
supplement this generous and handsome offer with their gifts. Hearty cheers 
greeted the announcement. 

Armour: We are so grateful, having passed one year in this institution, 
that we would like to start the ball rolling towards a '']'] Dormitory. We have 
therefore subscribed $15,000 towards the amount required. (Three cheers for 
the shortstops.)

Armour : I think those who have been here four years will probably do a 
good bit more tlian tliat. 

The President : This is a magnificent donation ; it is a splendid gift — 

(A^'oice: By the has-beens.) 

(^A \"oice: George Amiour furnished the spirit.) 

Layxg: What did I furnish. 

(A Voice: The courage.) 

Layxg : Nothing doing. 

OsBORX : I \\i\\ make it $30,000, Jolin. 

The Presbdext: This is going along at a 'j/ gait. 

Layx'g : The other short stop makes it 835,000. 

(A ^'oice : I propose three cheers for Frank La}Tig.) 

Three cheers. 

The Presidext : I believe if he had graduated he would have given us a 
donnitor)' all furnished. This is splendid work, fellows, and I believe that we 
ought to adopt a resolution that as a Class we vnU give a 'jy dormitorj-, and 
proceed to raise the major part of the mone\- at once. I know we can do it. We 
will extend the time of pa}"ment over whatever period is necessary-, ^^'e want 
to set the pace here to-night, and aim high. I have felt for a good while that 
w'hen you come do'^Ti to the question of what classes have given, '79 is a little 
ahead of us. 

Layxg : They are not. 

The Presidext : If it comes to a question of what the members of the 
Class indi^-idually have given, we are still ahead, and now that we have this 
splendid beginning from generous members of the Class, I think we ought all to 
turn in and do all we possibly can to make certain this gift of a '/7 dormitor}- 
to the institution to which we owe so much. If we received from Princeton 
nothing else, we should be deeply grateful for the friendship of the men of the 
Class of 'jy. 

(A Voice: How much have you got?) 

99 



The President: $35,000. 

Jacobus : I will add $5,000 more. 

Cleveland Dodge: As a member of the Class of '79' ^ want to propose 
three cheers for the greatest Class that ever graduated, barring none — the 
Class of '']']. 

(A Voice: You ought to have been a ''jj man.) 
(Three cheers for Dodge, Cleve Dodge.) 

The President: Fellows, we now have this splendid start of $40,000, 
and we cannot stop, but must go ahead at once and raise the needed amount. 

McCalmont : Over how long a time may payments run ? 

The President : Four or five years, if necessary, 

Juddy: I will give $100 a year for five years. 

Dodge : Let me tell you a little incident in connection with the fund which 
we raised for our building. The idea was started five years before our 25th 
Anniversary, and there were twenty men of that Class none of whom had an 
income of over $3,000 a year, and each of those men agreed to give $200 a year 
for five years, making $1,000, and $20,000 of our fund came from twenty men, 
none of whom had an income of over $3,000 a year. If that was not sacrifice 
and a Princeton spirit, I would like to know what it was. 

J. F. Williamson : I do not know whether a man like me ought to 
chip in, when all he has got comes from the end of his nerves, but I will subscribe 
$500 to help along the cause. 

Speir : I will give $500. 

The President: Henry B. Thompson subscribes $1,000. 

Wilton M. Smith : You may put me down for $1,000. 

The President : The Secretary will also give $1,000. 

(A Voice: How about the President?) 

The President : I will have to work on him a little later. 

Gentlemen, I have just received a communication. Here is a contribution 
in memory of William Fullerton Dunning of $5,000. 

100 



Dodge : Mr. Dulles says he thinks he had better get out of this, or he will 
subscribe himself. 

Dulles: I will send it up next year. 

Dodge: I have felt very much the same way myself; we will have our 
part later. 

The President : The subscription is now $49,500. I presume the dormi- 
tory will cost at least $100,000, and we must not stop short of that amount. 
We can do it. 

Speir : Sure. 

Smith : I would like to ask what this dormitory complete will cost ? 

Dodge: I think the '79 dormitory cost $110,000. 

Armour: That is of brick. 

Dodge : Probably the building would be a little more expensive now 
than then. 

Pyne: I think '79 cost more than it ordinarily would have cost, because 
the President's room is a very expensive room. 

Bayard Henry: Less than a year ago I went through a great deal of 
trouble. At that time a ^'j'] man sent me a check for $50,000, without any 
collateral, and said, "Use it as you want" ; and I want to have the pleasure of 
doing something in memory of that gift. I would like to give $1,000 towards this 
dormitory. 

Osborn: What is the matter with the Class of '76? Three cheers for 
'76, and Bayard Henry. 

Three cheers. 

Dulles: I guess '78 had better be in the game, too; I will give $500 
towards this ; it is a mighty good thing. 

(Three cheers for '78, and Billy Dulles.) 

Dodge: I came here ready to make a speech. I wanted to tell the Class 

lOI 



of ''j'j what the Class of '79 owed to the Class of '']'], because it was the example 
set by the Class of ^yy from the day that we were Freshmen and you were 
Juniors, down to this day, that has made the Class of '79 — I will not say, second 
to ''JJ, because that might not be loyal to my own Class — but a mighty good 
running mate to the Class of ''/']\ and '79 is not going to be left out on this deal. 
We will say that $1,000 is given from the Class of '79. 

The President: There is no dodge about this. I propose three cheers 
for the Class of '79. 

Dodge : This is the greatest show I ever went to. 

(Laughter and cheers.) 

(A Voice: How much does that make?) 

Dulles: While the President is counting it, I want to say that the Class 
of '78 has this building for their headquarters for next year, and that every '']'] 
man is cordially invited to make this building his home next year. 

McCalmont : Don't get so excited. Did you forget that William Libbey 
is next on the programme? 

The President: That makes $52,000. It has been my experience with 
Class contributions, and every other kind of contributions, that while you must 
receive these large gifts, and they are absolutely necessary and very generous, 
yet, after all, you must also obtain the many small contributions in order to 
make up the great total, and they amount in the aggregate to a large sum. I am 
satisfied that we shall find that the small contributions, while individually small, 
are large when you take into consideration the amount of money behind them ; 
and that we must depend upon them to raise the sum needed. It may require 
some little self-sacrifice — I am sure it will on my own part — but at the same time 
I feel that we owe something to this institution, and it will not hurt us a bit to 
give a little money to it. Let us show to the generations that are yet to come — 

(A Voice: Why don't you say unborn?) 
— let us show that we can do something for them, that if we cannot have any 
boys of our own to send here — 

(A Voice: We can send grandchildren.) 

Yes ; some also have daughters, and they will look out for the boys. 
I am ready for a few more contributions. If the gentlemen present will 
kindly not be so modest as to keep quiet. 

102 



J. R. Flickenger: I have not very much money, but I will be glad to 
give $100 to the cause. 

Dodge: There are two great advantages which the Class of '79 has got 
from their building. In the first place, we have a room for all our reunions ; that 
'79 room in the tower is simply great. 

(A Voice: It is a corker.) 

In the second place, the sons of '79 have the first call on the rooms in 
that building, and by this time that building is pretty nearly filled with the 
sons of '79. 

(A Voice: They are wonders.) 

There is this disadvantage to you, there are a good many sons of '']'] that 
have already graduated. 

(A Voice: What is the matter with the grandsons?) 

(A Voice: Exactly, and not to speak of the nephews.) 

F. B. Glass : Put me down for $100 a year for five years. 

McKinley : You may put me down for $100 a year for five years. 

Balloch : You may put me down for $500. 

Van Dusen: I will go along with Doc Balloch, and if I get the appendi- 
citis, he can pay it. 

The President : Our friend, McKinley, has not been here for some thirty 
years, and he is attending his first Reunion. We are mighty glad to see him here. 
We are proud of him. When we take a look at him, he is a fine looking fellow, 
and he subscribes on the same basis, $500 — $100 a year. 

William Libbey: You may put me down for $1,000. 

C. E. Stevens : Put me down for $100 a year for five years. 

The President: I am authorized by Harry Thompson to double his con- 
tribution, and make it $2,000. 

(A Voice: Good for Harry.) 

103 



(A Voice: Give him another bottle of wine.) 

The President : This will go down in the history of our Class as one of 
the greatest gatherings we ever had. We have now $56,600, and we ought to 
increase that a little more to-night ; we ought to work up to $77,000. 

Song : Whoop her up for ''jy. 

Cuyler: If I may be permitted a word. My good friend Momo, a 
moment ago, alluded to a little help I had given in the last twenty-five or twenty- 
eight years here — 

(A Voice: You have been the Aaron.) 

I am willing to say that if it had not been for Momo Pyne, much as I 
love Princeton, I could not have kept my end up. I am positive of that, and I 
want to give credit to Momo for two-thirds of what I may have been able to do 
in the way of assisting him in this work. I want to give $1,000 myself, as much 
for what Pyne has done for me, as for the Class of 'yj. 

The President: I propose three cheers for this royal good fellow, 
C. C. Cuyler. 

(Cheers.) 

We do not want to stop with this contribution from '79. We ought to 
have some more from ''j'j. 

R. A. Springs : Put me down for $500. 

The President: The south is doing nobly. I hope that no one of you 
will be too modest in this matter. 

Layng : Send out for three more bottles, and we will get the rest. 

William Burgess : You may put me down for $500. 

The President: We would like to hear from more of the fellows. Let 
us have, however, a motion to the effect that we present a ''j'j dormitory as a 
gift to our beloved Alma Mater, Princeton University, and that a committee be 
appointed to take the matter in charge, with full power. 

Speir : I so move. 

104 



The President: Those in favor of the motion will kindly rise. 

After a rising vote, the President announced the resolution carried unani- 
mously. 

The President : We are a little short now of $60,000. 

Wishard: I will put in another $1,000; we want to get this up to $77,000 
to-night. 

The President : I am authorized to say that we have two more generous 
gifts, $10,000 from Pyne, and $5,000 from Armour in memory of William 
Edward Annin. 

Ford: I understand that I am in for $1,000; I would hke to increase that 
to $5,000. 

(Three cheers for Ford.) 

The President: The contribution now is up to $77,00, and more. 

The President: I have another contribution here. Clark gives $500. 
He modestly does not want his name given, but we are making history to-night. 

Layng : All right, we don't care, he is a '"jy man, and that is all right. 
John Ely : Put me down for $500. 
A. R. Schanck : I will give $100. 
Brumback : I will also give $100. 

The President: Our dear old friend, Senator Ormond, gives $100. 
Prof. West, '74: I will give $100. 
(Three cheers for West.) 

Burr ('75) : I will give $100, with the privilege of increasing it. 
The President: Gentlemen, how many do you want on that Committee? 
Layng: What Committee? 
The President : The '']'] Dormitory Committee. 

105 



Ormond : I move that we have a Committee of seven appointed. 
Unanimously carried. 

Pyne : When I was speaking this evening, I had an idea that possibly the 
Class, with great effort, might raise $17,000 for an entry to a dormitory. I 
never felt so proud of our Class as I do at this moment. I think this is a most 
remarkable thing. I know the Class of '79 had a great deal of hard work in 
raising their money, and it took them a year before they began to have anywhere 
near as much as we have received to-night. I think we can congratulate ourselves. 

Layng: Take another drink out of that cup, Armour. 

Armour: Not on your life, I would give forty then. 

The President: I think we ought to stand up and sing Whoop her up 
for ''jy. 

Song: Whoop her up for ''j'j. 

The President : We will now proceed to carry out our programme, which 
has been joyously interrupted, and as our old friend, William Edwards Annin 
would say, "we will now come to the regular toast of the evening." Two years 
before the advent of the Class of ''j'] at Princeton, one who afterwards turned out 
to be a member of our Class came to Princeton presumably in preparation for us, 
and when he entered our Class he gave us a constitution — 

(A Voice: And we refused to take it.) 

— it was a good one, but we did not see fit just then to accept it; but in everything 
pertaining to the interest of the Class, or of Princeton University, he has given 
loyally of his time, labor and money. It was due to him that the first geological 
expedition went out from Princeton, and he is largely responsible for the splendid 
condition of the Biological work at Princeton at the present time. 

(A Voice: And Geological.) 

And we owe a debt of gratitude to William Libbey, and no one can 
respond more fittingly to the toast, The College of our Days, than William Libbey. 
I propose three cheers for "Bill Libbey." 

William Libbey: I do not know what Speir meant in pressing this duty

upon me, but the request reminds me of the situation in which I was placed a 
couple of years ago. I was asked to give ap address on Commemoration Day 
in a neighboring town, and the Mayor of the town was one of those gentlemen 
that had a beautiful flow of language, and usually began his sentences without 
knowing where they would end. There was a company of militia lined up near 
the graves of the soldier dead of our Civil War, and when he came to the end 
of his introduction of me to the audience, hoping to produce a marked impression, 
he said that after the Professor had finished, our soldier boys would fire a salute 
over the dead. I hope that what I have to say to-night will not produce any such 
dire effect. 

I confess that Frank has given me a serious subject, a subject I would 
like to have some one better able than myself to respond to, for the simple reason 
that it records so much of the past that is dear to me, and dear to all of us, that 
I am afraid I cannot do justice to the subject, as I have not had time within the 
few days that have been given me, to prepare an adequate speech. 

The duty has been assigned to me to turn back the pages of our past 
history, and to speak of the College of our days. It is a duty that I find a pleasant 
one, and yet at the same time a sad duty, for there are pages of .that history I 
should rather pass over in reverent silence because of the memories that are 
recorded there — pages across which the words "well done" have been written in 
such large letters. 

On the first pages of the record of the College of our days there are the 
names of seventeen men whom we honored and respected, although it is to be 
said that it was not always apparent to them when we, in our restless boyishness, 
became "a burden in the flesh" to them. 

Eleven of that goodly Faculty have passed away. The memorial of their 
faithful service and their faithful performance of duty is best seen in the growth 
and the good name of the Princeton of to-day. When we look around us at 
these splendid buildings, and a Faculty increased ten times in number, the 
strongest feeling in our minds should be that it is to the endorsement of that 
solid scheme of general education which they planned that the advance of 
Princeton to-day is due. No matter what Princeton may become in the future, 
its past can never be taken away. That past and what it represents, and its 
traditions, will always be held in the highest esteem, and it forms one of the 
greatest attractions of the place. 

To those members of the Faculty who are still with us, we can only 
repeat, as we have so often said before, that our hearts warm as their names 
are mentioned, and that we have always regarded them as amongst our best 
friends. 

Any mention of the College of our days would be incomplete without the 
most loving mention of one who was indeed a second mother to us all — Mrs. 
McCosh (applause). Thank God, she is still with i\s, and it is a constant delight 
to see the goodly strength that she still has in spite of her ninety years. We 
reverenced our Faculty in those days, but I think it can be truthfully said that 



107 



we loved Mrs. McCosh, and we shall never forget her. We were her boys, just 
as surely as Princeton was "me College," in those days. 

The College of our day was the birthplace of our inspirations, the stimulus 
of the efforts of our young manhood. There our intellectual struggles began. 
But as we come back to the College of to-day, we shall find many changes. Times 
have changed, and Princeton has grown to meet the changed conditions. No one 
rejoices more than I do over the new Princeton, growing every day, yes, every 
hour, in the minds of the citizens of our country who are seeking a broad, liberal 
education for their sons. But I sometimes think that things which were dear 
to us have been lost in the passing years ; that this growth has been, in some 
respects, made at the sacrifice of things which we hold precious. 

One of our privileges thirty years ago was found in the broad democratic 
spirit of the place. While this spirit exists to-day, I am inclined to think that 
there are influences at work which are not favorable to it. Our increase in 
numbers is largely responsible for this. But, in addition to it, I feel that the 
club life of to-day is not producing the same effect upon the boys of to-day as 
that old-time life did upon us in the past. (Applause.) I am not a socialist, and 
I sometimes think that democracy may be overdone, but I have always felt that 
a man who has passed the entrance examinations of Princeton has a charter 
right to the best of everything that Princeton can give. (A Voice : Right you are.) 

Another of the institutions of our day has almost crumbled away. The 
Halls, in spite of their splendid traditions and their long honor rolls, are prac- 
tically dead. When they became a sort of club annex to the English Department, 
they lost most of their distinctive flavor of undergraduated life which was their 
peculiar charm to us. The modern boy does not favor self-imposed work, par- 
ticularly where it is much easier to sit around a cozy club fire and indulge in 
day dreams. 

There are many more things I could allude to, but I do not wish you to 
think I am croaking, and that I am going about with the design of writing 
"Ichabod" upon the walls of Princeton. Far from it. We have gained very 
much, and we can value the Princeton of to-day because of the virile position 
she holds on educational matters. But that does not repress the regret that some 
of us feel because some things are gone which it is a pity to lose. 

Of our own relations to the College of our day, what shall I say? I might 
fall back on the old and familiar saying, "By their fruits, ye shall know them" ; 
and perhaps it is the safest thing to do. We have no reason whatever to be 
ashamed of our record. The results of those years of training have been other 
years of usefulness and success. We have had pleasure in each other's victories, 
and they have been many. We can rejoice that so many can look backward to 
noble work, and forward to honorable careers in all the spheres of active life. 
Our college friendships, which exerted such a formative influence in our develop- 
ment, have matured in fiber and grown in strength. Can we not truthfully say 
that the College of our day was a success? I cannot refrain from quoting a bit 
of verse I ran across the other day and which I have adapted to the occasion : 



io8 



KEEP A-GOIN.' 

If you strike a thorn, or rose, 

Keep a-goin' ! 
If it hails, or if it snows, 

Keep a-goin' ! 
'Taint no use to sit and whine 
When the fish ain't on your line ; 
Bait your hook and keep a-tryin' — 

Keep a-goin' ! 

When the weather kills your crop, 

Keep a-goin' ! 
When you tumble from the top, 

Keep a-goin' ! 
'Spose you're out of every dime — 
Gittin' broke ain't any crime ; 
Tell the world you're feelin' fine — 

Keep a-goin' ! 

Good old seventy-seven — to thee ! 

Keep a-goin' ! 
"Forward" let the watchword be, 

Keep a-goin' ! 
Crowned with honors and with years, 
Hail and hearty she appears ; 
All is radiant — have no fears ! 

Keep a-goin' ! 

The President: I am asked to make the announcement that the Class 
of '']'j have won another championship — the subscription championship. Pyne 
and Layng give an additional $5,000 each. $90,100. 

Kimball: I will give $500. 

Potter : Put me down for $500. 

Biggs : I will give $250. 

Armour : I would like to say that Mr. Ford is anxious to pay a little debt. 

Ford : And I would like to say that Armour is talking through his hat. 

Ormond: And I would like to say that the most brilliant record of the 
evening is made by "the short stops." 

The President : When our old friend, Senator Ormond, was married, 
he wrote to me, 'T have fallen from the estate in which I was created, but it is 

109 



a fall upward." And he has been "falling upwards" ever since, not only in the 
affection and admiration of his Class, but in the estimation of doctors and 
philosophers the world over. He is to respond to the toast "What we Owe to 
Princeton" ; and he will respond briefly. 

Three rising cheers for Ormond. 

RESPONSE BY PROFESSOR ORMOND. 

There was no need for the caution that Ormond will respond briefly. I 
would like to say that I think this is the greatest show on earth — A Voice : And 
that is no joke) — Buffalo Bill included. I have forgotten my written speech, 
and I shall have to speak impromptu. I have met with another misfortune, 
because my speech has already been delivered. But if you ask me what we owe 
to Princeton, I would answer in just one single sentence — we owe Princeton a 
round hundred thousand dollars. (Applause.) 

(A Voice: And you will get it.) 

(A Voice: Where is that Ode?) 

Ormond: I did not promise an Ode, but I can do something shorter than 
that ; I can give you a sonnet. 

(A Voice: Give us a sonnet, a philosophical sonnet.) 

Ormond: There are two things which I think the Class of '']'] will love 
to remember; one of those things is a person and the other is a thing: the 
person is James McCosh and the thing is the old "Bulletin Elm," which is now 
a mere tradition in the College life, and I have a sonnet on each of those, if the 
Class desires to hear them. 

Pyne: We will stand it. 

This is on James McCosh : 

Though dust be turned to dust, thy spirit lives, 

And all thy old-time walks and works and ways 
To us the brooding of thy presence gives 

As thou didst move in well-remembered days, 
And thy own Princeton, object of thy love, 

Stands as a temple where are still professed 
The faiths thy life was given up to prove 

In God and in the culture that is best. 
And Princeton that the future shall bring forth 

Shall courage from thy high ideals draw 
To rear her walls for things of highest worth, 

A manhood free and yet restrained by law, 
That so in her foundations and her end 
Thy care for truth and piety may blend. 

IIO 



And this is to the Old Bulletin Elm, of which our Class has many pleas- 
ant, and perhaps some unpleasant, recollections : 

Layng: No unpleasant recollections. 

Old tree ! whose trunk for generations stood 

A friendly covert and a faithful guide 
To hundreds who returning would 

Once more foregather at thy cherished side; 
We seek in vain thy well-remembered girth, 

From which thy stately branches one time spread 
Thy massive bulk has fallen to the earth, 

And all thy far outstretching limbs are dead. 
But fond affection clings about thee still 

And claims thee from the oblivion of the past, 
And we who erstwhile loved thee ever will 

Thy image hold among the things that last. 
And still beneath thee, as we used to do, 
The pledges of old friendship we'll renew. 

The President: When we turned aside on Sabbath afternoon from the 
pleasure and happiness of reunion days to pay a passing tribute to our beloved 
dead, and'listened to that more than beautiful tribute by Jacobus, there is nothing 
to be said to-night upon this toast — "The Good Men Gone," — and we will drink 
it standing in silence. 

The President then read the names of the deceased members of the Class :

May they rest in peace. 

The President: When we built the biological laboratory to assist our 
classmates in their work, we builded better than we knew. We had every con- 
fidence in their ability, but I am free to confess that their success has been far 
beyond our expectations. And we claim a share in that success, and feel that our 
Class was honored when there was offered to one of our members, by a group of 
great men, the high office of Secretary to the Smithsonian Institute, and this 
without solicitation on the part of our friend and classmate. He is to tell us what 
brought this all about, for the toast, — After Thirty Years, — is to be responded 
to by Henry Fairfield Osborn. I propose three cheers for Henry Osborn. 

(Three ''j'j cheers were given.) 

Ill 



RESPONSE BY HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN. 

Mr. President and members of the Class: It is thoroughly characteristic 
of 'jy to go by opposites and contradictories. The Toast-master assigned the 
subject of my speech, and the Class has robbed me of it by making this wonderful 
subscription. It was our optimism, our hope for the future, and our confidence 
in the future that was to have been the principal thought that I wished to pre- 
sent to you to-night. 

Our Class always made it a principle not to break what is known as Rule 
V — that is, never to take themselves too seriously. (Good.) ^^''e have had some 
grand illustrations of this principle tonight. Three of the greatest jokers in the 
Class sat opposite to me, (Armour: I object) and it will go down in our Class 
annals that it was these very three men who put their heads together and started 
this magnificent subscription. 

Another illustration of the principle occurred yesterday. We all came out 
of that memorial meeting deeply touched by those incomparable words of Ja- 
cobus about our classmates, and what impressed me, and impressed everyone else, 
was that every word was absolutely true. 

(Armour: You are right.) 

I spoke of this to the President — the tears were still in his eyes, but the 
old spirit of the Class came back, and he said. "Harry, he looked at those '"// fel- 
lows opposite him, and he knew they wanted the truth — he could not fool any one 
of them." 

Yes, we are keeping up our traditions, and tonight we have had the great- 
est amount of nonsense combined with the greatest amount of seriousness, and 
through the nonsense we always feel that there is the seriousness, and that always 
makes the fun all the more delightful. 

And all through life it seems that we shall have this happy combination of 
sense and nonsense. It is the nonsense which keeps us bright and cheerful, which 
helps us to see in the losses that we have sustained, just the working out of part of 
a great plan, and helps us to look forward to a bright and forcible future. 

As I think of the loss of our classmates and the continuity of the Class 
spirit, it reminds me of Kinglake's account of the charge of Balaklava, that won- 
derful description of a mistaken order which led the great troop down the val- 
ley, the horses and the men were shot out of line, but as they dropped away, the 
instinct to form ranks was so strong that through the entire length of the valley 
the ranks were never broken. So these men that have left us leave breaks that 
can never be repaired ; but here we are to-night going on all the more strongly, in 
solid column, ranks closed up, in unbroken aflfection for each other and unbroken 
faith in the future. 

There is no doubt whatever, and I think you must have all been impressed 
with it as you have been looking into each other's faces during this most delightful 



112 



meeting, that, just as John has said, these class ties which bind us together have 
been a great source of strength to every one of us. We have always wanted to 
be in the Class, of the Class, and worthy of the Class. 

For my own part, seven happens to be my lucky number. I graduated 
with the Class of '"j"]. I was accepted by my wife on the 27th of the month. 
(Good.) I went to New York, and Columbia College, which I connected myself 
with, was on 117th Street, the Museum of Natural History was on 77th Street, 
and the Zoological Park, where I have had the privilege of working for many 
years, was on 177th Street. (A Voice: Good, that is all right.) This proves 
that I was born at the right time, and got into the right Class. 

I think few of us, since we have been so full of hilarious spirit to-night, 
realize what has been accomplished this evening, in following up the splendid 
gift of the Class of '79 with a similar gift of our own. We have set a standard 
which will be felt by other classes. This means another professorship for 
Princeton. And since it happens that the majority of the men who have been 
working in teaching since graduation are connected with biology, we hope that 
the trustees will not consider us as asking too much if we ask that the income 
of our dormitory shall be devoted to the Department of Biology. 

I want to say just one or two personal words in addition to what has been 
said, and that is that the history of the Class that was given by Pyne before the 
assembled Alumni at our last meeting had a great omission. It was the modest 
omission of Pyne himself. Just as Campbell has always seemed to be the cement 
that bound the Class together and kept us marching along in a solid front with 
our faces to the future, so Pyne has seemed to me the incarnation and embodi- 
ment of the spirit of the Class (applause) which is the spirit of love, of brains, 
of energy, and of unconquerable belief in the future. It was before men were 
in the habit of coming back to Princeton, that it was hard to work for Princeton ; 
it was when he stood alone that it was hard to do the work, and as we shall hear 
to-morrow — because you have honored me by asking me to speak for you — only 
the recording angel knows how Pyne worked in those dark days before the great 
tide of Alumni affection turned toward the college, and even then the recording 
angel had to stay awake all night. Pyne's pockets were always full of memor- 
anda, his head was always full of new plans and schemes to bring about this 
reuniting of the Alumni. 

Now, it is evident to those of you who are looking about here that every- 
thing that has been said about this marvelous growth of Princeton, because that 
is the only word that comes half near expressing the truth, is absolutely true. 
Princeton has undergone a complete transformation, a transformation which is 
largely the result, as Dodge said so handsomely to-night, of the work which was 
begun by members of our Class, and above all by Pyne. 

Now the work is going on, and we are going to have still greater pleasure, 
friends and classmates, at our next reunion five years hence, because we hope 
to be in our own ''j'j Building. 

I am so full of feeling that I do not dare to give myself full sway. If 
I did, I probably would not be able to finish my speech ; but all I can say is to 

113 



echo over and over again the beautiful words that have been spoken by others, 
and to express the hope that is in us ah, that this bond which binds us together, 
and which is carrying us forward for Princeton and for our country, may not 
be broken to the very last. (Applause.) 

The President: We expected to have had a quartet from the Glee Club 
here to-night to sing this great song which has been composed by Clark, and 
which you will find on the Menu, but for some reason or other they did not 
appear. Year after year, reunion after reunion, we have asked Clark to write 
us an ode, and he has always been ready and willing to do it, and I think the one 
he has given us now is one of his very best efforts, and it will be forwarded to 
each one of us in due time, set to music, so that we can sing it, and when 
we come back here, we do not have to wait on any Glee Club to tell us 
how to sing it. I think we owe a debt to Clark, and I would like to propose 
three cheers for him for what he has done for us cheerfully and willingly in 
giving us these odes. I propose three cheers for Charles Sidney Clark. 

(Cheers.) 

The President: Fellows, we have had a great meeting. I do not know 
who will be here at the next reunion, some of us may be found missing, but we 
know one thing, that so long as a single member of the Class of 'jy survives, 
those who have gone before will be held in loving memory; and while we may do 
a great many things in life that we regret, there will never come a day when 
any one of us will regret the action we have taken here to-night. These contri- 
butions foot up to $91,350.00. 

(Applause.) 

And I know that the rest of the Class will do their full duty, according 
to their ability. 

We ought now to rise and sing Old Nassau, and sing it "as we used 
to sing." 

Song: Old Nassau. 

Three cheers for Princeton. 

Layng : There never was such a Class ; we will get to the end of this all 
right. I propose three cheers for Campbell. 

Cheers. 

The President: We will now sing Auld Lang Syne. 

After singing Auld Lang Syne: 

114 



The President: I wish to say, fellows, before we part, that the entire 
amount for the dormitory has been underwritten, and that we now have $100,000 
pledged. 

We will now rise and sing the Doxology in closing. 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, 
Praise Him all creatures here below ; 
Praise Him above ye heavenly host, 
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 

TUESDAY. 

The fellows were late in putting in an appearance in the morning, except 
Jim Denny, who silently stole away in the early dawn before any of the fellows 
were aware of his intention, and was too far in the lead to make it possible to 
send a posse to overtake him. 

The following letter was handed to the Secretary at nine o'clock, with a 
check for $1,000, the first money received on account of the '']'] Dormitory: 

"Drumthwacket, Princeton, N. J. 
My dear Mr. Campbell: 

Will you allow me to send a contribution towards the new Dormitory? 
I wish to send my congratulations to the loyal class of 'yy. 

Sincerely yours, 

Margaretta S. Pyne." 

We appreciated this generous gift, and more so because unexpected and 
unsolicited, and thank Mrs. Pyne for her congratulations to the Class. 

ALUMNI DINNER. 

At twelve o'clock we assembled in front of Old North, joined the pro- 
cession of the Alumni to the new Gymnasium, where the dinner was served. 
Judge Gray, of Delaware, presided and made an excellent presiding officer. 
After brief addresses by President Woodrow Wilson, Prof. Garfield, now 
President of Williams College, and others, the Class of 'yy was called, Osborn 
was introduced, and at his request, 'yy gave three cheers for Princeton. He 
spoke as follows: 

ADDRESS AT THE ALUMNI LUNCHEON. 

Here we are again, with our ranks somewhat thinned since we met five 
years ago, with added frosts upon our heads — only concealing the bloom of 
perpetual youth in our hearts — with an undercurrent of sadness over our losses, 
but still full of youthful fun and spirits and marvelling at what has been accom- 
plished in the University in the last five years. We are still led by our stalwart 
Campbell, who has been at our head for thirty-four years, and who, please God, 

115 



will never be placed on the retiring list. To-morrow he will receive the university 
degree of Master of Arts, which by our class is to be pronounced in the Cockney 
fashion "master of h[e]arts". 

It would take about five hours to give those who know little about Amer- 
ican history even a partial panorama of the achievements of '']'], our varied 
contributions to theology, to medicine, to law, to science, to museums, to libraries, 
to laboratories, to explorations, to honest commerce, to honest politics. You 
will pardon perhaps just a touch of pride when we feel that the American 
Republic is a little better because we have been hard at work in it for thirty 
years; but of all our productions we are proudest and fondest of one whose 
initial letter is the same as that of Princeton, who is the very personification of 
our class spirit, who used to be laughingly called "Ingens" — and never a truer 
word was said in jest, for he has proved to be truly "great". Brains, energy, 
affection, and liberality are an irresistible combination in the man whom someone 
has called the "prince of Princetonians". You all know his visible works, but no 
one but the Recording Angel knows how he labored to rally the alumni of 
Princeton and make them proud of the place ; now the whole federal army with 
Roosevelt at its read could not keep the Princeton alumni away. 

This coming of the Alumni was the second turning point in the history 
of Princeton. The first was the coming of McCosh, the third was the coming of 
Wilson. President Wilson has only made one mistake in his life, that is, he was 
not born two years earlier so as to get into our class; but if ever a man has 
overcome the disadvantages of birth, he has, by adding to his fame as a writer the 
great discovery that the chief object of an educational institution is to give an 
education. This third turning point in the history of Princeton is greeted with 
appreciation and even with enthusiasm by the country. We find the faculty not 
only Americanized by the addition of loyal workers from Yale, Columbia and 
many other universities in this country, but strengthened by additions from the 
older Cambridge and from Glasgow. Our faculty has made a splendid beginning 
in laying the sure foundations of education, and let us not stop for a moment, 
but press on to the fourth period, the development of a real university. The 
class of 1877 will not be satisfied until this result is fully accomplished. In the 
President's baccalaureate sermon he spoke of influential non-conformists : that 
exactly defines the spirit of 'yy. In the better understood language of the campus, 
we are 'constructive kickers' ; we are never satisfied with the existing order of 
things because we believe we can make them better. 

Pressing forward toward this fourth stage in Princeton's history, a 
remarkable event took place at our class dinner. Three men who styled them- 
selves the 'short stops', because of their extremely abbreviated careers in the 
college, arose and took the class completely by surprise by announcing that they 
would subscribe $15,000 toward a class dormitory. The subscription then rose 
rapidly until it reached $60,000. There it faltered, but someone suggested we 
should not stop until we reached the magic figure yy. The song "Whoop her up 
to yy" was started, dollars flowed like champagne, and with an irresistible 
momentum the sum mounted to $91,000. At this point the actual subscription 

116 



stopped in order to allow the few members of the class not present to be heard 
from; but I am authorized to announce to-day that the class of 1877 presents 
to Princeton University the sum of $100,000 for the erection of a dormitory. 
In the recent lively contest of Saturday between Princeton and Yale there 
were two kinds of tigers exhibited in the celebration of the classes. The first kind 
floated conspicuously over the grandstand : that was not a real tiger, because it 
was filled with gas; it represents the Princeton man who does nothing for the 
University and comes back to talk but not to give. The other kind of tiger 
moved around the athletic track winking his eyes : that was a real tiger with a 
man inside, the kind of a tiger which is emblematic of the class of 'y"]. We 
come back not only to talk, but to work and to do something for the University. 
We come back to prove our love by deeds and gifts to Princeton. 

At the close of Osborn's fine speech the fellows arose and gave three royal 
cheers for Henry Fairfield Osborn. 

Prof. Hibben of '82 in the course of his remarks referred to the fact that 
"for five days he had severed all connection with the Trustees and Faculty of 
Princeton and was simply a member of '82." Later he made mention of the 
"principles as laid down by Prof. Ormond," when Ormond promptly replied, 
"I have laid aside my principles too for five days." The number of speakers was 
less than usual, and the time occupied by each address was shorter, hence the 
dinner was over within a reasonable time and the occasion thoroughly enjoyed 
by all in attendance. 

WEDNESDAY. 

Only few fellows remained until the conclusion of Commencement exer- 
cises. As we came to the headquarters for the last meal, everyone expressed his 
great regret that "it was all over." Stevens, McKoy, Ely and Jenkins were the 
last to leave. Little was said, because voices were unsteady and hearts were full. 
The Thirtieth Reunion was over, but it was a happy and memorable one, "with 
not a discordant note throughout it all."

Aftermath 

SOME IMPRESSIONS MADE UPON MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF '77 IN 
ATTENDANCE ON THE THIRTIETH YEAR REUNION. 

W. B. Bryan. 

Broad bands of orange and black, forming a decorative scheme as a setting 
for the inscription "Class of '']f\ met the eyes of the returning members of the 
Class as they turned from the Princeton station up Railroad Avenue. This flare 
of color marked the headquarters of the Class, and the exact location of the 
Goldie House was promptly determined by those who were a little hazy on the 
subject. It seemed entirely natural to see, thus prominently displayed, this 
familiar symbol of college days, and it rather helped along in reviving associa- 
tions which were somewhat slow in being recalled, owing to the material change, 
almost a transformation, in this principal approach to Princeton. 

Even those who were at the Class Reunion five years ago were struck by 
what has been done in making beautiful the surroundings of the railway depot, — 
the gateway of this University town. The Gothic towers of Blair Hall, flanking 
the really magnificent entrance as well as the entire range of the building, forming 
as it were a wall about the grounds of the University, are wonderfully impressive 
and atford a dignified approach to the campus, with its group of buildings so 
harmoniously designed, not only as regards each other, but also as to the setting 
of stretches of velvety turf, the luxuriant foliage of great trees and the graceful 
clustering of shrubbery and vine. 

But changes in the outward appearance of places are something that one 
grows rather accustomed to, and so, even by those of the ''j'] fellows who came 
back for the first time since graduation — and there were some who had that 
experience — the evolution they saw in the physical aspect of Princeton was 
accepted without interfering much with the mental process of reviving the days 
that were past. 

For after all, it doubtless had not generally occurred to the fellows that 
their graduation day was so very remote, at least not until they began to go 
about Princeton. As they walked along the streets and saw the gaily decorated 
headquarters of other classes that were also celebrating their reunions, somehow 
the figures '']'] seemed to recede into the dim and shadowy past. There were so 
many dates in the eighties and nineties before reaching that of '']y, as to give one 
for the first time an impression that in some way his class was getting rather 
far down in the college roll. 

But such an impression was the offspring of the surroundings, the product 
of environment, — entirely that and nothing more, — for the old-time spirit and 

ii8 



the vigor and cheer of the mental outlook marked the familiar and delightful 
intercourse of the days spent together at headquarters. It is true our observant 
secretary will be able to note in his journal of the thirtieth reunion of the Class 
of '"jj, that he got more sleep on this occasion than on any one previous, which 
he accounts for on the ground that the fellows went to bed earlier. It might be 
inferred from this, that something of the gravity of advancing years is coming 
on, as indicated by this dawning partiality for an earlier bed hour. But that is 
merely conjecture, for there was very little to indicate the flight of time at this 
reunion, save the number of classes that have followed us in college. 

Charles Lamb once made a comment on an observation of Samuel Johnson 
relative to Shakespeare. At the time he was in a company of friends and the talk 
ran on the subject of anachronisms in the plays of the great dramatist, such as 
the references to watches and clocks being in use in the time of Julius Caesar. 
The humorist drily remarked he supposed that was what Johnson had in mind 
when he wrote of Shakespeare, 

"Panting time toils after him in vain." 

In that sense the Class of ''jj is an anachronism, and in spite of the thirty years 
that have gone on record, the fellows of ''j'j have not yet been overtaken by 
Father Time. 

The days of the Reunion were full of delightful experiences, and what 
will always be the chief charm of such gatherings was the renewal of associations 
which are the pleasantest and at the same time the most precious in our lives. 

Another addition was made to the number of notable achievements of the 
Class in raising the money for the erection of a 'jj Dormitory. No one who 
witnessed the scene at the Class Dinner, so wonderful as an expression of 
individual generosity and ability and of love for Princeton, is likely to forget it. 
Since I left college I have been present on many occasions where money was 
raised by subscription, but I never saw anything to equal the demonstration then 
made by the Class of '']'/. It seems to me that the vitality of the Class has 
increased rather than diminished. 

HUMOROUS INCIDENTS OF THE REUNION. 
E. A. Balloch. 

On Sunday morning Kimball sent his automobile around to headquarters, 
with an invitation to those of the fellows that cared to do so to use it. Four 
misguided individuals, who hoped that the lapse of years might have subdued 
Kim's joking propensities, availed themselves of the kindness (?) of Kim to take 
a drive around Carnegie Lake. All went well until Kingston was reached, when 
the alleged auto refused to go. Upon the promise of the chauffer that he could 
remedy the trouble in a few minutes the passengers waited. The minutes length- 
ened into hours, and in spite of the thorough dissection of the machine and the 
expert advice of Stevens, the difficulty was no nearer solution than at first. 

So the deluded victims of Kim's generosity were forced to walk back to 
town and there turned up at headquarters about three in the afternoon, four foot- 

119 



sore, dusty and weary individuals, who might have been recognized as Springs, 
Stevens, Van Dusen and Balloch. They were not in a mood to appreciate Kim's 
little joke, and had the latter individual been present he might have needed the 
services of Hartley. Moral, by \"an Dusen — A red head covers a multitude 
of sins. 

It was this same Kim who, when one of the class said to him after the 
commemoration service that it was almost worth while to die to have such nice 
things said about one, pulled out his cigar case with the remark, "Well, let's 
shorten the time a little." 

On Sunday evening a bunch of the fellows were sitting on the porch at 
headquarters, when someone began to recall the old songs, and soon there was 
in full blast a very creditable concert. Full justice was done to Annie Lisle, 
Bingo, Oh, There Is Rest, Pass that Silver Trumpet Down, Captain James 
McCarthy and all the old-time favorites. Jai Scott's tenor had lost none of its 
sweetness and Nigger Denny ran him a close second. Van Dusen got so 
worked up that he proposed that the fellows go over to the steps of Old North 
and let the crowd hear some people that really could sing, but fortunately, in the 
interests of concord, better counsel prevailed. 

The event of Monday was the fact that Juddy IMcCalmont got in the class 
picture. Juddy failed to make connection with the photographer in 1902, and 
as he had spent the best part of the intervening years in explaining to his friends 
why he was not in the picture, he was determined that there should be no failure 
this time. By the exercise of a firmness more than Spartan he made it. 

Juddy had a handsome cigarette case, which he casually remarked was 
given him by one of his clients. Charles Sidney Clark innocently inquired, "What 
became of the other one?" 

Tom McKoy's smile was a thing worth going miles to get away from. 
We are, however, authorized to deny the report that Frank Layng oiTered him 
big money to go with him on his night trips to take the place of an auto horn. 
There was not much sleep for the lodgers in the Goldie Annex when Tommie 
got in his best work at about six in the morning, and they were perforce early 
risers. Bridges '79 and a Yale man accepted the hospitality of the Annex on 
Saturday night, having missed the last train to New York. Their slumbers were 
peaceful, but they were awakened in the early morning by the '// quartet singing 
their Sunday morning hymn: 

"How dry I am, how dry I am. 
Nobody knows or cares a d n." 

They pronounced the singing most soulful and said that it touched them tenderly 
and awoke responsive feelings in their breasts — and throats. 

The Secretary exerted himself, in his capacity as landlord, to make every 
one have a good time and feel at home, and he considers that, for a Y. M. C. A. 
man and an amateur, that he ran a pretty fair sort of a speak-easy. He therefore 
resents what Dad Atwater used to call the "ribald jests" that were hurled at 
him and his hotel. 

The unkindest cut of all was at the Reunion Dinner. The champagne 

120 



was not coming fast enough to suit some of the unregenerate, and one of them 
remarked in an unnecessarily loud tone of vice, "They say that a Campbell can 
go eight days without a drink, but all of us are not Campbells." 

THE NEW BUILDINGS OF PRINCETON. 
Prof. William Libbey. 

During the last decade Princeton has passed through an era of unprece- 
dented building activity. The number of attractive buildings on our Campus 
was already large, but it has steadily increased. A definite plan of development 
of the growth of the University has been adopted, and though this may mean the 
destruction of some of the older buildings, many of these "land-marks" will not 
be seriously missed. The associations of the past count for a great deal with the 
older graduates, and they may regret the disappearance of some "old friends" 
but they cannot regret the beauty brought about by the change. 

The process of evolution in Princeton, begun in our time under Dr. Mc- 
Cosh, of changing from brick to marble, has been carried on with increasing 
energy, and our grand location is gradually being crowned by a group of struc- 
tures of great beauty of an intensely practical value. The following description 
is necessarily short, but it is hoped will help to make the accompanying views 
more readily understood. 

Uttle Hall. 

Adjoining the southern end of Blair Hall and following out that buillding's 
line and style on a slightly lower level of ground is Stafford Little Hall, a dormi- 
tory containing sixty-two suites of rooms, the gift of the late Henry Stafford Lit- 
tle, of the class of 1844. It was erected partly in 1899 and partly in 1902 and 
forms, with Blair Hall at one end and the new Gymnasium at the other, a series 
of architecturallly harmonious buildings marking the western confines of the 
campus. 

The Gymnasium. 

The Gymnasium, erected by the alumni at a cost exceeding $280,000, is sit- 
uated toward the southwest end of the campus, adjoining the Brokaw swimming 
pool, which has been architecturally combined with it. In style of architecture 
this building conforms to the academic Gothic of Blair, Little, and Patton Halls, 
and the material used in its construction is the same Germantown stone. These 
four buildings, harmonizing in style and general effect, form an almost unbroken 
western boundary to the campus, nearly half of a mile in length. 

The facade of the Gymnasium comprises two full stories and a tower. 
The lower story contains a trophy hall, paneled in English oak, and the upper 
floor is devoted to committee rooms, superintendent's quarters, and other neces- 
sary apartments. 

The Gymnasium proper is entered through the trophy hall. It is 166 feet 
long and loi feet wide, and is almost as high as the two-story portion of the 

121 



building. Its roof is supported only by the side walls, so that the interior is un- 
obstructed. About its walls is an elevated running-track over 150 yards around, 
and in the basement are locker rooms, bowling alleys, and places for various forms 
of indoor exercise. 

It contains, besides the main hall with the apparatus for physical training, 
hot and cold shower and plunge baths and dressing rooms. The Gymnasium is 
open daily from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. throughout the University year. The direc- 
tor is in attendance during these hours to examine, advise and instruct all who may 
desire his services. 

Seventy-Nine Hall. 

Seventy-nine Hall is a development of the Tudor Gothic, so extensively 
used at Oxford and Cambridge, and in the recent buildings at Princeton. 

It is two stories in height, with a basement. The walls are of red brick, 
the trimmings of Indiana limestone. Toward the middle and directly opposite 
Prospect Avenue is a tower which forms the principal feature of an asymmetric 
composition. The Hall accommodates forty-eight men. 

Patton Hall. 

Patton Hall, a dormitory furnishing accommodations for one hundred men, 
is the gift of the ten classes from 1892 to 1901, inclusive. This building, erected 
in 1906 from the plans of Benjamin W. Morris, Jr., is the latest addition to the 
graceful line of Gothic architecture marking the western confines of the campus. 
Built of the same material and conforming in style to Blair and Little Halls, Pat- 
ton Hall has been designed as the first of an imposing series of buildings which 
are to enclose Brokaw Field on the east and south. 

McCosh Hail. 

This collegiate Gothic building of Indiana limestone, erected in 1907 by 
friends in memory of the late President McCosh, composes one side of a contem- 
plated quadrangle. 

It is over 400 feet long and contains 18 lecture rooms and 26 rooms for pre- 
ceptorial conferences. It contains one room seating 600 persons, one room seat- 
ing 400, four rooms seating 75, four rooms seating 65, and six seating 50 each. 

The Hall is fire-proof and is heated, ventilated and lighted by the latest 
methods. 

Sun Dial. 

Immediately north of McCosh Hall, and in the center of the proposed court 
of which that building forms one side, a sun dial has been erected. This inter- 
esting gift was presented to the University by Sir William Mather, M.P., of Eng- 
land. It is a copy of the famous Sun Dial of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, 
presented by Sir Charles Turnbull to that University in 1605.

Court OF McCosh Hall and the Sun Dial 




McCosH Hall and McCosh Walk 



The original dial consists of a stone column nine feet high and eighteen 
inches in diameter, resting on a square base. At the top of the column a square 
block of stone contains the carved arms of the University of Oxford, King Henry 
VII, the founder of the College, and Hugh Aldam. Above this is a large ball sur- 
mounted by a pelican, which was the emblem of Cardinal Wolsey. 

The Princeton copy of this Dial has been elevated upon a series of square 
bases to a height of about twenty-four feet. It was presented to the University 
on O.ctober 31st, 1907. 

Physical Laboratory. 

This splendid building was presented to the University by Mr. Stephen Pal- 
mer of New York City. It is constructed of a dark-colored brick with Indiana 
limestone trimmings. The laboratory is located south of '79 Hall and north of 
the Infirmary. It is absolutely fire-proof, the only wood used being in the trim 
of the windows and doors, and the floors. The north face of the building is 
250 feet long, and each of the eastern and western faces 160 feet, giving a com- 
bined area for the three floors of 85,000 sq. ft., or about two acres. 

Great stability of structure and absence of vibration has been secured, and 
the laboratory has been planned with a view to the greatest possible growth in the 
departmental work. There are five lecture rooms to seat from 360 to 375 per- 
sons each — and they are provided with all the conveniences and accessories de- 
manded by modern requirements. The space and equipment offered for research 
and graduate work is one of the most remarkable features of the laboratory. 
There are seven recitation rooms and ten laboratories for the regular work of 
the department, besides a large series of rooms designed for special work, and 
twenty-eight rooms for the professors and research students in addition to the 
library. 

In planning the building, utility was the first desideratum, but the liberality 
of the donor has made it possible to build an imposing building, as well as a 
superb laboratory. 

Biological and Geological Hall. 

This new building which will contain all the laboratories and scientific 
collections now scattered over various portions of the campus, is located on 
Washington Road below the Infirmary. 

The building is a portion of a more extended plaij which may be carried out 
in the future. 

The main or northerly front of this building is 288 feet long and 60 feet 
wide. There is also a southerly extension of 65 feet which is 40 feet wide. This 
will be the Museum or "Collection" building, and the Biological and Geological 
Collections will be assembled on the main floor, where they will be most accessi- 
ble. Besides this there will be a large lecture room in the basement, and the re- 
mainder of the building will contain the laboratories and work rooms of the 
various departments and a library. 

123 



The building will be fire-proof, and constructed of hard burnt brick and 
grey stone trimmings. The partition walls between the rooms are to be of such 
a character that they can be removed should it be deemed advisable to enlarge a 
room at any time. 

The laboratories are to be furnished with every appliance that modern 
science can suggest, and a Vivarium and Greenhouse will be part of the equipment. 

The whole building has been planned in accordance with the wishes of 
the Professors who are to use it, and though it conforms to the Tudor style of 
architecture, it will have a marked individual character of its own. 

CLASS OF '77 UNIVERSITY FELLOWSHIP. 

This was the first of the new University Fellowships, and was founded and 
supported by individual members of the class, until it became permanently endowed 
by the gift of the class at the quarter-century reunion. Osborn wrote an interest- 
ing account of the fellowship in the 20-year Record, and at his request Prof. C. 
F. W. McClure, of the University, takes up the narrative and carries it to date. 
We quote from a letter to the Secretary written by Prof. McClure : "I have made 
the history very full in order to show you the class of men '']'] has been fostering, 
as well as to emphasize what a magnificent investment a fellowship is for the ad- 
vancement of higher education in a university. If Princeton had 100 fellowships 
like the 'y'] it would be a real university even before a brick was laid for the 
so-called Graduate School." 

THE CLASS OF '77 UNIVERSITY FELLOWS.

The Class of '77 Dinner, 1908 

The Class of '']'] were invited to a dinner on the evening of April 30, 1908, 
at the New Princeton Club, by our classmate, M. Taylor Pyne. The following 
named fellows were present : 

Armour, McKoy, 

Armstrong, Nicoll, 

Biggs, Osborn, 

Burgess, Pitney, 

Campbell, Pyne, 

Chapin, Schanck, 

Hargis, Speir, 

Millard, Van Dusen 

The dinner was a most enjoyable one, and the only regret expressed was 
that more of the fellows were not present to share in our pleasure. Millard and 
Armstrong both gained a reputation for telling good stories, while the champion 
McKoy was at his best. 

During the evening it was resolved that the Class be called together on 
Saturday the beginning of Commencement Week, in order to turn the sod in 
preparation for the building of the '']'] Dormitory. Our thanks were voiced in 
three hearty Princeton cheers for Pyne.

'77 Memorial Dormitory 



The story of how this gift came to be made will be fouml in the account 
of the 30th Reunion Diinier. Immediately after the Reunion the Committee, 
consisting of Armour, Ely, Ford, h'isk, Layng, Pyne, Thompson and Campbell, 
accepted plans made by Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, architects, of Boston, Mass., 
and the contract was let to W^m. R. Matthews of Princeton, who commenced 
work immediately after Commencement Day. 

The original contract was made without the two entries adjoining the 
tower, but the Committee, having been clothed with full jicnver, decided to build 
the structure in accortlance with the original plans, which included the entries 
referred to. 

The Building complete will cost somewhat over $160,000. This is con- 
siderable more money than was originally subscribed, but the building as de- 
signed by the architects was such a beau.tiful specimen of Gothic architecture, the 
Committee, in the interest of the Class, and clothed with full power, felt justified 
in going on with the work. They were confident that the Class desired a worthy 
and lasting memorial, and would stand back of their Committee in the financing 
of the midertaking. The architects, at the reipiest of the Secretary, have written 
a short description of the Dormitory for the Record, and it is herewith ap- 
pended. 

'yy HALL, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, PRINCETON, N. J. 

"This Dormitory is designed to harmonize with Blair and Little Halls, with 
which it will ultimately be connected by other dormitories on the site of the pres- 
ent Observatory. The style is of course that established type of late Gothic which 
is characteristic of all the best college architecture in England. It differs from 
Blair and Little only in a somewhat more pronounced delicacy of scale and in 
the fact that no classical details or mouldings of any kind have been used, 
Gothic forms being exclusively employed. 

*Tt is built of the same stone that has been used in Blair and Little Halls, 
dressed to a flat surface and laid up in what is known as "three head work." The 
trimmings are of Indiana limestone and the roof of graduated, gray-green slate, 
rough on the edges and varying both in size and thickness \xo\w the caves to the 
ridge. The building is fireproof throughout. 

"Considerable heraldic decoration has been used as ornament and on the 
building are found the arms of the LTniversity, those of the State of New Jersey, 
together with the seal of the Class of 'yyT

BREAKING GROUND FOR '77 DORMITORY. 

On Saturday, June 6th, the Class were entertained at kmcheon at the hos- 
pitable and beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Armour. Mr. Allison 
Armour, brother of our classmate, assisted in making the occasion a most delight- 
ful one. 

At the conclusion of the luncheon a vote of thanks and three hearty ''jj 
cheers were given for Mr. and Mrs. Armour. 

The hat bands so generously provided by Pyne, and which did not arrive 
in time for our Reunion, were worn on this occasion and were unique, beautiful 
and serviceable. 

After we had formed in line. Armour produced a spade painted in orange 
and black colors, with 'j'] numerals and the date June 6, 1908, and armed with this 
necessary instrument, we took up our march to the Campus, on the site of the old 
Gymnasium, where everyone proceeded to do his part in the turning of the sod. 
The program was entirely informal. Three cheers were given for Princeton and 
President Wilson, and Jenkins' poem was read. 

Lines written for June 6th, 1908, the date for "breaking ground" for the 
New Dormitory, the gift of the Class of ''jy to Princeton University. 

THE NEW DORMITORY. 

Thrice sweet the magic of this good-dawned day, 

To Alma Mater we our tribute bring; 
Deep in affection Princeton e'er must stay, 

Her praise and blessing we must ever sing. 

With firm foundation honored be this prize, 

Be Art and splendor to the structure given ; 
A triumph brilliant for all times, to praise 

The noble giving of brave Seventy-Seven. 
June 6, 1908. Rev. D. D. Jenkins, B.D. 

We can always rely upon Jenkins coming to the front in any matter affect- 
ing '']'], and whatever he does, it is with a full heart and well done.

Corner Stone 

On Saturday, August 15, 1908, at eleven a. m., the corner stone of the ''j'] 
Dormitory was laid. It was our desire to have this done in September or Octo- 
ber with suitable ceremonies, but the work on the building progressed so rapidly 
as to make this plan impossible of execution. Hence, owing to the time of the 
year— in mid-summer — few fellows could be gathered to take part in the event, 
and no formal program was attempted. Five members of the Class were present, 
Armour, Ormond, W. B. Scott, Schenck, and Jai Campbell. They can testify 
that the work was well done as they all assisted with the trowel and put pennies 
in the mortar for the absentees. 

The copper box placed in the corner stone was filled with the following 
articles : 

Class of ''jy Records of 1878, 1880, and 1898, also History of the Class 
Reunion, 1902. 

Brief History of the Class Reunion of June, 1907, and the events leading 
up to the gift of the Dormitory.

and the ceremonies were over. 

PRINCETON. 

The sons of Princeton on this chosen spot 

Girt round with trophies of a glorious past, 
This corner stone embed with loving thought 

And dedicate it to the things that last : 
To learning fit to make men strong and wise 

And culture of the broad and human kind, 
To comradeship that generous minds in ties 

Of brotherhood in noble deeds shall bind. 
They build for Princeton, that in bygone years 

Bred men for whom a busy land had need 
And that in days to come shall still make clear 

She has not lost the secret of the breed, 
But when the call shall come for service high 

Her halls the men to meet it will supply.
